I have asked for better pics, but don't have them yet. From the ones I posted, it looks like there is no "BMW" embossed under the M badge. Now that you mention it, my genuine set (and every other genuine set I have seen) always have BMW below the M badge. I won't bid on them - cheers for the help.

They are on fleabay here:

Either BBS have stopped putting BMW on them and someone is gonna pick up a bargain, or they are fake some sucker is prepared to pay 2-3x what copies are worth.

Cheers, will look elsewhere.
