Can anybody tell me if this is a real deal Randar RDW wheel or aftermarket? I thought the real deals have "RDW" on the centers but I may be wrong.
thanks.

Randee used aluminum centers with a chromed steel hoop for the RDW and all of his other wheels. Every knock off I've seen has an aluminum rim

these are real and they are on my car. These are the early production run of RDW's, before Randee machined the "RDW" on to the center of them.
