Default Identifying genuine C2 wheels

I'm looking at a set of these for my car, but I'm not sure if they are real or replicas. Can anyone tell me what numbers should be stamped inside the real Porsche wheels and where they are so I can make sure they aren't fake?

TIA

if you see a porsche part number, there are genuine.

my MilleMiglia have some kind of weird J88 looking symbol on them

the millemiglias are also heavier, and have thicker spokes. real cup1's have slightly thinner and more rounded spokes.

The Porsche part number would begin with the three numbers of the car, like 944, 928, 993, right?

Yep, also genuine wheels will have the offset on the face by the valve stem...
