Do all genuine Land Rover boost alloy wheels have a Land Rover logo cast into them? like in the photograph.
I have been offered a set of wheels and the chap says they were on his Defender which he has had from new on my inspection no LR logo.
I do not want to disbelieve him but I am just checking before I buy or pass on them.

I am trying to keep this post active because the information if we get any would be useful.
Purchasing boost or other style wheels S/H how do you identify genuine Land Rover items from copies?

I have genuine Boost Alloys on my Defender, they all have Land Rover embossed on the rear of them the same as the ones in the photo do

Thank you for that info do you know what year the wheels were made as the L/R wheels may not have it on all years

I can't say for definite, but my Defender is an 02 and when I bought it i was told that they were the original wheels that were on the vehicle.

OK thank you that's good to know. Made around 2002 and have the Land Rover embossed on them.
Has anyone genuine Land Rover alloys without the embossed logo?
