heres how you tell if they are OEM german as opposed to the Brazillian crap.

if they are OEM good used german, they will have some rust on the INNER side,
the back..but not the front that you see from the outside..

if they are brazillian, they will be rusted BOTH sides.. :<)  unless they are
new brazillian, and have never been used yet.   in that case, they will rust
both sides the first time they get wet :<)


go with the OEM used german ones..  the rust on the inside doesnt affect
anything.. spray it with primer if it bothers you..  the ouside of the OEM german
ones was triple chrome.. and hold up for years and years..
