Hi Reg.
I need to see better pictures of the axle end but there are a few things that ring alarm bells. Firstly the axle looks like it has tool marks on it, Also the inner face of the wheel is damaged, right by the tool marks on the axle, coincidence?, I don't think so.

had a feeling it may be fake the damage to the wheel can be seen with a loop but I cant make out any tooling marks
I do tend to gamble on these oddities on ebay but keep bids low sometimes you get lucky

These 2 look like base swaps with my dodgy eyes, rarer wheels paired up with better castings, is that right Numi?
