22' wheel revisions or replicas?

[Big Ern]

Someone is selling a set of 22" Tesla wheels on eBay and the backs of the wheels look different than ones I've seen before. Have there been any revisions to the wheels, or are these possibly replicas or clones? The picture with the tire is official Tesla one, it has information stamped in the spokes. The bare rim pic is the one I'm questioning. The silver "hub area" has different hole shapes (round vs keystone).

subject line should be 22" and not 22' don't know how to edit subject line :-\

My bet is that they are not OEM and cheap knockoffs. I can't say I've ever seen an OEM without any kind of size or any marking of any kind on the backside. I would be highly suspect.

Can you post the ebay link?

Another listing by a different seller is for the silver wheels with the round holes on back and if you read the engraving says GRADE B, wonder if they are rejects due to quality control?

I would be suspect of those wheels.

I’m pretty sure it says “grade 8” not “grade B”. Grade 8 would represent the steel strength.

"Grade 8" is an SAE rating for fasteners. It has nothing to do with aluminum wheels. Tesla does not mark any info like that on that surface of the wheel. Those wheels are either factory reject wheels or reproductions.
