I just assumed they are taken off due to aging. But yeah, there should be stickers. Still possible that they are authentic, just missing the stickers?

Possible yeah. He describes them as mint, so that to me isn't mint exactly.

They look legit, but it looks like he is selling 2 sets of fronts as a full set.
They should be:
17x8.5 +40 Front
17x9.5 +38 Rear
At least that's what mine are.

Also, they look to have been refinished. That looks to be too satin for the OG bronze (though that could just be the lighting of the pic).

Also also, they don't have the MS center caps.

You are right, it’s newly power coated.

That eBay link shows a set of Rays wheels, but they’ve defintely been fixed or just refinished with a new coat. Either way, the markings in the back of the wheel should show if it’s a legit rays ms-01 wheel. It might be a rays wheels, but I don’t think it’s an ms-01 made for Mazdaspeed.
I think is a normal Rays wheels you can fit to a variety of JDM machinery.
