Default Are my Jaguar wheels OEM or Replicas?

Hi, I just purchased a set of Jaguar Storm wheels from a seller with a 2015 F Type R with Carbon Ceremic package.

The seller claims that the wheels are genuine since he purchased the car from a Jaguar dealership and is the original owner.

I have dealt with numerous OEM jaguar wheels are have not come across stamping like this:








Image also includes a set of oem Range Rover wheels that came of a family member's range rover sport 2015 MY.

There is Jaguar/Land rover etched on the inner side of the wheel barrel alongside the specs and "super alloy" and "taiwan". I share the images with a Jaguar dealership but they said that they do not have anyway to confirm if they're original or not. Found listing of these wheels on ebay and most storm wheels have this same exact stamping in barrel with nothing on the spoke itself like any other Jaguar wheels. All are either made in Germany or Italy. These dont say made in Taiwan, just the word Taiwan on it.


Would appreciate it if anyone could confirm their authenticity.

Cheers!

My Wheels on my 2014 V8 S is stamped the same. They are the forged Blade with the carbon fiber inserts. So I would say yes OEM.

I had them off this weekend to do my calipers.

My thinking is this: Forged wheels would have to be laser etched as in your first set of pictures. The second set of pictures you posted are cast, that is how they have the raised letters. Cannot get raised letters like that in forged wheels.
