Well first off, go to a place like F1 Motorsports or Sprewell Racing and go look at a REAL Lowenhart LD1...take a look at the fit, the finish, and the overal quality of build...when you see a fake, it'll be obvious...

Here's a few more things...

1) Most fakes are 1-piece, not 3-piece like the real LD1's.
2) Knowing this, look for REAL bolts and nuts holding the center "disc" to the "rims".
3) If you see a wheel w/o the tire, look for a silicon sealed seam that seals the front and rear rim halves.

Also, buying a reputable vendor will assure you get the real thing. There aren't too many incidents, that I know of, where a fake set LD1's were being sold as real LD1's...
