make sure it's stamped and not easily etched in
which wheels are you thinking about?
for the light weight ones, you can definitely check the weights and make sure
my BBS RGR is build like a rock and have the BBS stamped on the inside.
you can also post a picture if that's possible.
btw i am from HK too (living in the US) =)
