Giovanna wheels fake??

Alright so I thought I got a great deal on some wheels off ebay but the more I think about it the more it seems like these are fake giovanna wheels, yet I have never heard of there being fake giovanna wheels.

I know I have to get one of the wheels repaired but just wondering what you guys think, did I get a great deal or should I get my money back?

Thats what I thought but I just figured because of the one cracked rim and the fact his feedback wasnt great I just assumed people were scarred away by that. Hopefully I can get some more responses because the rims are nice and this is a ton cheaper than i had planned on spending which might make this to good to be true.

I used to own those model/make of wheels!

I'll tell you that they are in fact real Giovanna wheels but they are made under the G-Racing label. The actual model of the wheel is called the Kobe.

I used to have a set in white 19''. The wheels are very good - the painted finish is deep and durable. Only be careful of the plastic center cap as it can discolor if you use harsh wheel cleaners.

If you can fix the bent lip you scored because I bought my Kobe's for 1200 with rubber 6 years back in the day.

Does anyone know if Discount tire repairs cracked rims? And any idea how much they would charge to get my rim fixed?
