Default weld racing wheels question...

Ok...there is a guy who selling some weld prostars...great deal...$425 for all four...i go and see them and NOWHERE on the front of the wheel says Weld Racing inscribed like all the others ive had before...he tells me the are genuine weld racing prostars...shows me the center cap...i dont buy them cause i think he is lying...anyone can buy the center caps...he swears that they are weld racing prostars...i told him i would give him a call tomorrow after i decide on it....i honestly think these are the summit look alikes....what do you all think? Shouldnt ALL Weld racing wheels have "weld Racing" inscribed on the wheel...correct me if i'm wrong!!

Mine don't have it. I have prostars. If the lug holes are not recessed, I doubt they're knock offs.

the bolt holes are flush with the wheel....arent the summit brand wheels the same...except they are cast aluminum vs forged aluminum?
