Default Bought 22" SRT-10 rims, How to tell if them are really OEM?

I bought some 22" SRT-10 polished alloy rims, but how do I really know they are true OEM rims and not replicas with Ram Centercaps?

He said in the ad that they are Mopar EOM rims and New in the boxes. But he could of had these boxes and taped them back up.

Can anyone help?

I do not have mine anymore, do not recall if they had a DC stamped on then on the inside, or forged on the inside as OEM were forged.

Given they are polished and not plated is a good sign they are OEM. Almost all replicas are plated. ALL OEM are mill (Very few) or polished.

What is stamped on the inside of the spokes? I think mine say Made in Italy by Speedline.
