    They should be stamped.

    They would be stamped with the HSV symbol and an ROH symbol on the backs of them if they were genuine.

    I think ROH make all of HSV's wheels. Well the more recent ones anyway.

    Yep i'd say they are fakies. Plenty of fakies going around too. I personally wouldn't ride on them, i have seen photos of people who drove around on fake HSV wheels and they completely snapped.

    Exactly, basically from VY HSV onwards, all their HSV wheels were 19".

    I don't think you would get much for them for the fact they are 18's and everyone knows they are 19".

    go back to the dealer and ask him were your genuine rims are and tell him he sold you the car with genuine rims so he better get you genuine rims.
