Yes, if it doesn't say BMW on the rear of the wheels - they are not real OEM. Every OEM wheels is stamped with BMW somewhere on the rear face of the wheel. It also seems he's had them painted, which may be good or bad. Paint can chip, but powdercoat lasts longer and is a stronger overall paint job, but the process can sometimes weaken the alloy of the wheels.

thank u guys so much ur very helpful, i asked the guy about the paint and damage and he said:
These wheels have been professionally refurbed and painted. There is a very small chip on the edge of one of the rims but is very minimal.

the price mentioned by the OP is the price the vendor quotes as retail...not what he is asking for the wheels...
