I'm a new Porsche owner shopping for wheels - how can I tell if used wheels are genuine Porsche and not knock-offs? Thanks for any help

OE wheels will have a Porsche part no. on the backside. The first 3 digits are usually a model no. such as 911.123.456.78

That is a made up no. but that is the format used.

Later Porsche wheels, in addition to the part number mentioned, usually have some numbers on either side of the air valve, something like 6 and 52, which means 6" wide rim and 52mm offset. Earlier wheels, like Fuchs, have a Porsche part number on the back paddle, the build date, offset, and stylized P in a triangle.
