Did I get ripped off??

Hey guys, I bought a used set of what i was told were Racing Beat sway bars, front and rear for 100.00. Later, as I was looking for parts online I noticed that most aftermarket bars are several mm larger, while the bars I bought look the same size as stock. I havent been out to my shop to measure them lately, but by eye they look the same. What I need from you guys is measurement in mm of racing beat sway bars, how big around are they? and how big are the stock ones? I will measure them all tommorow, but I thought maybe you guys had some input to help out. Thanks in advance!

front racing beat bar is bright red and thick.

Rear bar is plated bare metal, noticeably thicker than stock but not as thick as the front, red one.
