Can someone tell me the difference on 172's?
I need a pros advice on something. Can anyone tell me the difference between OEM style 172 and reps? I seen pics of both and they both look the same to me. I don't want to buy reps thinking they are OEM just because the seller says so.
The pic below is a rep. Looks OEM to me.

OE's have a 13 on the face of the wheel near the lug holes or at least mine do. You can refer to my for sale thread to see what I am talking about.
