+1...I have ACS knockoffs made by RH Alurad, and the wheels in those pics look like the real thing right down to the genuine ACS caps/emblems. Be prepared to shell out some dinero, though, to get that one dented wheel fixed (at least $100+ just for the one wheel). There may be a tire on it now that holds air, but that will not last too long before you'll have to repair it just to MOUNT a new tire...
