I cannot for the life of me work out if these are real or not because I simply cannot find enough information about the RC competition wheels on the internet at all!! Inconsistencies in the back lettering makes me think these are reps, but how do I go about identifying a real set vs a fake set? Again, there seems to be almost no information about this model of wheel online. I don't even know what a normal price would be for a set like this because all I can find are used sets which may or may not be real (can't tell). Sorry if I'm missing something or being dumb – just want to learn and make informed decisions. Thank you in advance

I can’t answer your question lol.
You’re not being dumb tho. Did this come on an import? There’s a lot of wheels that were Japan specific through the 2000s that are real but just not super popular and/or made in low qtys(as in a good amount for the japanese market but not globally).
If it came on an import then I would assume they’re real. But I do think it’s weird there’s no Yokohama “Y” embossed anywhere on there. Maybe that’s more of a modern Advan thing.
IDT it really matters; real or not they won’t be worth a ton. Ppl buy wheels to flex. But if no one knows the wheel then that effect is diminished, real nice quality wheels or not. Like an NFT lol.
Went thru the same thing with Sparco NS2s that came on my import.
These seem legit to me.
They are real. nobody ever made reps of these because advan stopped production well before the 2000’s when all the companies in China and Taiwan started making reps
