Look on the inner side of the alloy you should see an audi logo

They aren't genuine unless its the picture. That grey should be a darker shade and have a matt finish.

Also you can check by the specs.

Genuine wheels will be 18x7.5J ET54

Copy wheels will usually be 18x8J ET45

in the pic the centres look more like stickers than proper badges
 
genuine have audi logo and part number on the back.

This!

Also the price being asked might be a give away. Reps will be 300-400ish

Genuines likely to be at least double that
 
yeh they look like reps mate as the real ones have a mate effect as opposed to gloss
