Howdy guys,
What the best way to check if your EL GT rims are genuine or not? Thanks in advance!

Genuine ones will have Gold centre caps with a Ford badge IIRC. Copies have silver caps with a Tickford badge. That and the whole width thing as above.

yep, as the other guys have stated, the width (17 x 8.5") and the Ford centre cap (not a tickford one) are the two easiest identifiers, and confirm the part numbers. If you find a set on the net, put up a link and i'm sure the guys can assist in confirming their originality.
cheers, Julza

price comes to mind aswell gen EL GT rims come with a hefty price tag on them due to them being rare as hens teeth these days copies come round $1500 range with tyres and stuff trust me i have look at prices
