Those are OEM and no sign of swelling that was typical of that style. Also, the wheel center looks more like a mint condition specimen, verses restored.

And the ad doesn't just say 'actual miles', it says "actual documented original miles", so it's not like the guy is odometer challenged.

He can make any claim he wants about being actual or documented - doesn't make it true. How do you definitively document that mileage as being legit?

That trim ring and center cap condition are totally in disagreement with the rest of that wheel. As is the obviously very rusty brake caliper. Who knows what the story is with that car, but I smell an awful lot of fish.

I was only pointing out that people might be overlooking the exact verbage of the ad copy.
Obviously, it's up to any interested parties to do their own inquiry corrospondance to see what kind of provinance the seller has and decide if it would be worth a personal inspection.
