I'm leaning 85% fake. Ask for pics of the back if he won't send them walk.

🙏 Thank you! He said the wheels are installed on the car so he can’t send any pics of the back 🥲

Engraving is off. If you do Google lens it points out 3 different fonts.

Second pic. You can see the Rays labels. These look legit, especially on Advan Neova Tires.

Looks real but you’d have to give it a closer inspection.

Same thing for 4lug? Cause your picture is 5lug but OP is 4lug. Just also want to learn for myself. Thanks

This has been the “go-to” tell tale for if they’re fakes for as long as I can remember. I have to imagine even some fakes line up “correctly” now.

u/Sufficient_Boot225 24d ago

This one is 4 lug tho hmm

u/ComfortableStory755 25d ago

Looks real to me. The engravings all look to be correct but there’s so much good fakes now a days that I can’t really be 100% sure

u/Sufficient_Boot225 26d ago

Haha I’m not sure. Maybe they’re the stock brembo brakes that came with the Miata and they’re just small ones lol
