OZ front wheel or not ?!?!

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi Guys,
I need some help. I've just bought a MY06 Factory on a 56 plate registered in January this year.
The rear wheel has OZ machined in the bottom of one of the pockets near the central hub and "MT 6x17 DOT E MADE IN ITALY 68-002-041 47-05 EVO FORGED JUL" stamped on the rim and an OZ racing Aprilia sticker  near the valve (easy enough to buy and stick on I guess).

I was expecting to see the same on the front wheel but there is no sticker and no machined OZ logo in any of the pockets near the hub which got me wondering if it was an OZ wheel at all!  The only thing it does have which is similar to the rear is "MT 3.5X17 DOT E IS-4737 187-07-06 EVO FORGED JUL" stamped on the rim.

Any thoughts on whether it's a genuine OZ or not and how could I find out for sure?
cheers
Rich
