I've never seen those before but I don't think that would look good on your car. Get original ones n custom paint them yourselves if u choose to do so

It looks real based on the VOSSEN engraving on the out rim edge.

Looks real because of the engravings. Also you really can't tell the concaveness with full face shots, you'll need to get a picture at an angle. If you do get them I would suggest repainting them, looks like the paint is chipping around the center cap.

The dude did a really crappy job with the custom paint

Seems like good deal.

Probably real just on the name stamp, but those wheels look horrendous to me.
No lip, no concave, and horrible paint. Can't tell if the paint is scratched or it's a reflection.

I'd be more concerned with getting rid of the chrome shroud surrounding your headlight bulb projector then anything else... But that's just me.

I agree, I would go with your current set up of wheels instead.
