BMW 359m comp wheels

I believe I have genuine comp wheels but I'd like to confirm. Does anyone have a picture of the inside of a genuine comp rim?

From what I have seen, the OEM genuine wheels have all the marking surrounding the hub, there is also a BMW stamp.

The replicas (AG, etc.) all have the marking stamps on the spokes.

Also, the hubs are very different, the reps don't have the surface area that the OEM wheels do, hard to explain.

How do I know all of this, because it took me months to put together a squared set. Was very difficult to do, and had to weed out the replicas.

Hope this helps, if you need further verification, I can take pics later, or post your pics in this thread.

From that description they look to be genuine. Someone did the worlds shittiest plastidip job (I’m getting them professionally refinished).
