Ok, so I have a set of wide 5 what I believe to be true centerlines. Just want to verify that they are so I'm not lying to a potential buyer. From what I've read on here The OG centerlines 4-lug actually have "centerline" stamped on them, but the wide 5's don't? Is this correct. They are a two piece, and the two halves are attached with 24 rivets(not bolts) on the narrow pair, and 28 rivets(not bolts) on the wider pair.

So? Real or fake?

Here's a pic of the back of one

I have wide five convo pros on my bug and they have no markings on them. Those look to be real Centerlines to me. Pretty sure my rivets look the same.

the centerline in the picture is the real thing

having owned about a hundred centerlines over the years i can tell you that
no 5 lug one is marked centerline

and only some of the 4 lug ones are stamped centerline

and some of the 4 lug ones are marked "bias tires only"
