Default Help with Thin Spokes
How are the OEM polished thin spokes identified as OEM? I know that the speedlines have the name cast into them but the thin spokes I have are stamped(on the rear surface of the spoke) not cast into the mold with GM. What is the indentifier? Thanks.

So it's not cast in, it's a surface applied stamp? Thanks.
