Iforged expert please

I bought a set of wheels and they were described as Iforged Flux. Picture looked correct but generic caps arrived with wheels. How can I tell if these are genuine? Here are the only markings on the inner barrel.

20x10 SL JDOT S1S 02/05/04 P PATNO--------------. I can't find anything indicating Iforged brand. I had a set of Iforged Techniks and from what I can rememer the rivet bolts looked different on the inner barrel.

Anyone know how to tell? Thanks.

I bought them from a long time member here on the forums. Unfortunately, the deal has significant inaccuracies to put it nicely. I'm trying my best to work with the member but it's been a real challenge. Due to other misrepresentations, I'm just looking to make sure these wheels are legit.

This is the picture of the wheel in the posting I thought I was getting.



This is another picture of the actual wheel I received when I opened the packaging.



Again, I'm trying to work it out with the member here but it's been a real challenge. I'm just trying to figure out how to tell a genuine Iforged wheel from a knockoff.

Thanks.

They look like they could be Iforged to me, looks like the previous owner had em out in the salt and didnt even feel courtesy enough to shine em up. I will have to check the rivets on my wheels in the basement. Ill let you know if they look the same

Take those wheels to Vulcan wheel polishing in El Cajon, they can machine polish those to like new.
