It's probably hard to say. Not sure a breakers would differentiate between them.

Yeah as above it's hard to say, particularly because people don't seem to sell individual wheels very often, but I would say based on what people seem to be asking for a full set of genuine MV2s on DoneDeal and Adverts and considering the condition of the wheel, I definitely paid genuine money.

It sounds like a fairly simple misunderstanding to me. Assumptions made and details not checked to catch it at the point of occurrence. I'd hope that the seller would be a gentleman about it, but at the end of the day it doesn't look like he has any obligation, its a case of "Caveat Emptor". It doesn't sound like the seller misrepresented anything when there was no question asked regarding it being original.

Seller may be apprehensive, what’s to stop you bringing back a rep and they sold you an original without knowing, is it marked as an item from them?

If seller is apprehensive,hit him with it across the head,the sound alone should tell him its a replica.

I'd say all depends on the price if you paid any less than 100 then it's not bad form IMO

Breakers can & do make honest mistakes. It's unlikely they would clean off 15 years of baked on brake dust to ensure there's a genuine p/n stamped on the wheel...

I've returned a couple of items (faulty fuel pump that worked fine when they bench tested it but was failing when under pressure for example) over the years and they've had no problems refunding me.

Have you talked to them at all since ? At the end of the day, they want your business again in the future....
