Overfinch Tigers?

I removed these wheels and tyres from our motor around a month ago, too big 22 inch and not too pleasant a ride.
Thing is are they copies or genuine Overfinch Tiger alloys. I know some of the earlier ones did not have Overfinch on them.
Just got round to cleaning them, here are some markings on the rear of the spokes.





They have suffered from the usual kerb rash and would do with a re-furb.









What are they likely to be worth?

I'd say copies, unfortunately, the reason being that last year I managed to find a set of genuine O/F sevens. The seller was very clued up on wheels, having had information direct from Overfinch on how to spot fakes.
Apparently the giveaway is the distance between the holes for the wheel nuts and the hole for the centre cap. On genuine wheels, this is around 2mm, and the copies have spacing similar to yours. Sounds crazy, but apparently true. Another difference is the weight - you'll need an extra Weetabix to lift the real deal off the hub Shocked

They are European made fakes sir... Good point being European made as the Chinese stuff normally works out to be junk! Rolling Eyes

Thanks for the replies, I had my suspicions about them.
Will put them in the for sale section and see how they do in any case, a sale gets the forum a donation.
