Thanks everyone

These ones are being sold by someone on ebay at pretty close to RRP, so it could be a lot easier for someone to fall for them.

Fake Indy forged baseplates for reference, in case I hadn't posted them earlier.

They are cast plates with the forged "print" or stamp graphic of the Indy logo on the bottom, clearly distinguished from the real thing, when you can see what a forged plate looks like.

Here is another listing I saw on AU ebay that is a pretty good current list of fake Spitfire wheels.

Might work without the AU as well:

And the UK version, seeing as they are UK based:

I am not going to post all the different pics they have on that listing, besides the cover shot of the nine different wheels, although at least one - the normal Classic (Full) is not that graphic.

Good on them for attempting to list down the official product names at least.

I've seen a new batch of fake Indys on Aliexpress in sizes up to 149.

Tiago Mid 139
139 Mid
139 "Lights" with the red baseplate - only hollow kingpin with a solid axle, which Indy doesn't produce
149 Std
159 Std

They even come in the plastic wrapper with blue tape to make it look more legit.

Couple more Thunders as well:

147 HL Suciu
147 HL F**K Off Red
147 HL Kyle Walker Blue + Raw
147 HL Black
