Wheel identification help!
So my brother picked up some wheels thinking they were CCW's, which is what he was told by the seller, but after further investigation, they are not ccw's. They are however, true 3 piece wheels, so we are just trying to figure out what kind. If anyone has any idea, I'd appreciate the help! just need to figure out so we can try to resell them with PROPER information.
these are 18x8.5, 18x9.5 with around a +30 offset 5x114
thanks!

Those look cheap as sh!t. They resemble the LM20 which is the "Lip Master" which these definately are not.
These look like cheap aluminum. Im definately not an expert by any means though.

They have been confirmed by a Local wheel repair shop that they are a genuine 3 pc wheel...
I can get better pics of the rims. They are actually pretty nice when cleaned up.
Still trying to figure it out

The biggest give away these are replicas are the center hubs. Instead of being curved into the hub like the LM's these just stop, and drop off. No curving = not LM's. If you compare them to the LM pic I posted, look at the inner edge of the wheel. Real LM's have the center piece (lined with hex screws) all the way at the edge. The replicas have about an inch of metal from the inner wall of the wheel. Which looks like what you have.
