Legit Check 405M Rims

Hey everyone! New to the forum.

I need some advice. I purchased some winter wheels for my F30 and just wanted to double check with the experts on the authenticity of the rims. These are the black 18" variant.

Thank you.

Oddly enough, the 405 is made in Taiwan. This looks to be genuine, I deal with countless sets of OEM and replica wheels in my line of work.

Here is a similar thread for your reference, but instead with the similar 624M wheels (both made in Taiwan):

I'm going to assume they're genuine until another poster says otherwise, glad I didn't get scammed. Think I got a pretty good deal on these, $1800 CAD, 2 winter seasons old, 3 mint condition rims and 1 with minor curb scratches.

Really appreciate the help guys!

Looking at this photo... I know right away why he ask if they are authentic BMW... that word "Taiwan" kinda misplaced on the BMW

Are these the Matte black winter variants? The couple of sets I have seen have been black on the inside and you can’t see the markings.

That's what the OP states in the initial post.
