Fuchs...

This may sound simplistic; but what is the easiest way (on the car) to tell a Fuchs from a non-Fuchs repro?

TIA.

If it's important enough to know, it's easy enough to take the wheel off and look at the logo.

The MAXWHEEL fake Fuchs I came across had much narrower petals towards the wheel centre. This was very obvious with the petals polished.

Also the casting was much rougher all round, so much so that the wheels looked unfinished and incapable of forming a seal with the tyre bead.
