The logo and wording which stamp on the rims. Replica rims seldom have those things.

The weight , my Hartge 19 inch x 10.5 inch only weigh 10kgs

by looking on a mounted rim, it's near impossible. Unless you can get a sneak preview on what's behind the rim. As there will be the brand stamp at the back.

lastly, what the hell is 8.5 jj 8j or 9 j 10 j... whats all the numbers?
