doesn't gm still put a small symbol on the wheel face? I know they used to...don't know about now...
if it says gm on the back, it is 99% chance of being gm. The liability is too much to misrepresent a fake for a company with that much equipment to make the wheels...

Shouldn't the gm part no. be cast/stamped on an inside surface? The two types of wheel that I have experience with: 98 thick spoke and the factory magnesiums both do.
