Thoughts? 2/4 have some paint damage. Should I get them repainted/power coat or touch up? On one of the wheel, the base color looks red for some reason.

They look legit except for the color. But I didn't take pics of the back of the wheels. But here are ones that were sold a couple of years back.

Looking at them though the JWL certification stamp looks wonky compared to the wheels I have pictures of that were pulled off the R3 in my driveway.

I bought them used off a guy in monterey. He saids it's from a Pace car and they painted the back of the wheels red but thanks for the link+photos. I'm hopeing I didn't get ripped off. I purchased them for $760. How do I restore them back to original color? I don't want to paint them the wrong color now...

My buddy damaged one of his and they could never get the colors to match exactly so the insurance had to replace it with a new one. But if you are doing all four, any good painter can get close.
