1) I know what they should look like (finish, etc)
2) Sticker on the hub said Superbe

Granted someone could have stuck the sticker on there, but knowing what the hub looked like was the clincher. I will also say that usually the Superbe sticker is in line with the axle and not wrapped around as on these. But this is not the first time I have seen it done this way. I was bidding on these, but forgot to sign in before bidding. Sign-in process dragged and I did not get my snipe in. They would have been perfect for my Japanese flavored Raysport.
