Default I just found out I have a bent rim! I have 17 inch RS6 replicas. I bought them used. My question is
are the replicas made by a certain company? I tried to find them on tirerack.com and no luck. Any other place I can try? Or if someone has one RS6 replica wheel laying around hit me up!

Is there a name stamped on the inside near the hub area of the wheel?

Default They are cheap Italian wheels, you can go to your local tire shop and order another or
check out velocitymotoring.com, Hartmannwheels.com, or 10 other sources

No, you'll need to dismount the wheel to see it.
