am off to view a set of genuine overfinch 'tiger' alloys at the weekend, where, and what markings will confirm they are genuine?

They should have Overfinch written on the inside of the rim. Might sound like an obvious thing to copy, but many replica producers don't add this detail (maybe to avoid copyright?).

If they are the first owner they may well have the receipts for them from Overfinch, I know I would certainly keep them if I was spending £4k on a set of wheels! So ask to see them.

Hope you have a friendly bank manager for the tyres if they need any. They will have "Pimps only" stamped on them.

haha i know Wammers!

Guys, other than looking for any defects, or damage are there any other checks i can do/things to look for?
Would rolling one along the path be enough to check for any bends/buckles? Or should i ask to get them balanced up at a local garage (at my cost)?

Your thoughts?
