How can you tell a real Lowenhart from a replica?
Will there be any markings on the rim for Lowenharts besides the centercaps? I bought a set of LD5's for a very good price and I have a bad feeling...I get them tomorrow, but I still have a bad feeling here.

yeah like Dennis said, a true 3 pc wheel has bolts that go from the front to the back, ie, you see the bolt from the face, and can put your hand behind that bolt and feel the rear. Alot of the new 1pc wheels have bolts that are glued on, so when you touch the back you dont feel anything. Also inpsect the rear, I'm almost sure something back there should say "lowenhart"

1.) Lowenhart uses a 6-star allen bolt for the center caps.
2.) To add to DGOT20s' "Look-For" list, 3 piece rims have a clearly distinguishable seperation from the spoke/mesh to the rim.
