I looked up some photos of when I had my AMG's wheels refurbished . Only one part number is cast on the spokes , other spokes carry various casting codes etc and one has 'made in Austria' cast into it.
OEM AMG Wheels? Or Fake?

In what way? How can you be so sure?
They have the correct AMG logo on the face of the wheel. (show me the difference between a fake and this wheel)
They have the correct Part# machined into the rear spoke.

A true amg wheel has 1 large square then the next 4 get thinner as they go down. A fake has 1 large and then 4 the same size.
It may be a trick of the photo, but I think that logo on the OP’s wheels is correct

They appear to get smaller on a zoom.
