Default el gt rims

Hey guys.
Just wondering the easiest way to tell fakes apart from copies without looking behind the rim? Does the ford cap normally indicate genuine or is it the tickford cap?
Cheers
Burkie

Genuine are 8.5 inches wide, copies are only 8. And the centre caps are usually silver on copies, champagne on genuine I think?

Is there an ROH logo stamped on the inside? I remember that there are specific markings on the inside of the rim, but I can't remember what they are. One of the EL GT aficionados should know for sure.
