Fake 182 alloys

[cli0 172]

I am in the process of buying a set of 182 alloys in anthracite & have been told that there are fakes kicking about & to make sure am getting the real deal .

Anyone ever heard anything about these or is it BS ?

I think its BS myself but just wanna check before i spend any of my hard earned cash .

Just make sure you have a good look at them before you part with the money.

Take a detailed photo of one with you and check all the markings and logos are in the right places.
