the 624m don't have the traditional marking behind the spokes, that's the correct spot

It just appears dirty?

What I'm saying is OEM 624m do not have the marking behind the spoke, 624m has it on the barrel like your photo shows.

Those are completely legit. Here are a couple of sound reasons why:

1. If you search the net you'll find exactly ZERO companies selling replicas of the 624, they're just not that popular of a wheel. To justify the cost to replicate these wheels they would have to sell thousands of units, there is just not that big of demand for the 624M.

2. Replica companies generally do not go to the trouble of including all of the OEM casting script, especially to the level detail seen here. Replica companies and distributors tend to try to be transparent that their product are indeed a replica to avoid lawsuits.

3. If you search images for these particular wheels you'll see the casting marks in the exact same location as yours with the same markings:
BMW 8J X 19 H2 IS52 >AIMglSICu<
6 862 773 2-tone / 6 864 391 polished
06966 01/16/14 TAIWAN SAl 186309-10

Bottom line, if they're the style of wheel your looking for and they're in decent shape just put them on and enjoy.

Generally the replicas do not engrave "BMW" into wheels. These appear genuine to me.
