Legitimate MS-01 Wheels

Hey everyone,
I found these on ebay and wondering what you think about them, they seem legitimate but i'm not an expert on MS-01 wheels.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/351107572901?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l5008&_trkparms=gh1g%3DI351107572901.N23.S1.M2788.R1.TR1&autorefresh=true
I thought Mazdaspeed wheels have the decals on the spoke, is that only if you put on the sticker? These seem like the two piece MS-01 wheels in the gold color. It does have the Rays Eng. and everything. Well, let me know what you all think!

I saw that, too bad I wasn't lucky enough to get them but they did need some refinishing. Are MS-01 wheels becoming more rare? The last MS-01's i remember were the "s" which were in the 2004 Mazdaspeed Catalog.

I dont think those were legit Mazdaspeed. The center caps were not the original caps, and he conveniently left out pics of the sticker on the inside of the wheels which if they are mazdaspeed they say mazda or mazdaspeed on them. Some of the mazdaspeed wheels by rays even have mazdaspeed cast into them. Also if you notice the pic of the wheels on the car they do not look the same to me construction wise and also have different center caps. Lastly the MS01 wheels do not protrude like these wheels do past the point where the lip and wheel center meet. If I recall they are flush.

Sucks to pay $3400 for those and it seems a bit strange that such supposedly rare wheel as the seller claims, would be coming out of Hong Kong...

I seem to recall getting about a grand with tires out of the last set of MS01's I sold. They were legit with stickers, center caps, etc. They had nearly new tires on them. They were B grade condition with some fading and light scuffing on the lips that would have cleaned up pretty well. I think I had to sit on them a few months to unload them too. But this was in like 2009 and you couldn't sell blankets to eskimos at that time.
