Does This Seem Legit?

two very good condition part worn perelis in 18 inch could be worth £100.00 without the wheels

I would say if they are an in demand high value alloy you have put them up for sale to cheaply

Are they genuine wheels or replicas?

I have no idea. I assume they're genuine - do you get replica wheels?

This is the link to the Gumtree ad. I don't really know much about them so tried to be as honest as I could.

yes they do make replica wheels and a set of audi RS4 replicas are about half the money of a set of genuine Audi wheels

what are the markings on the back of the wheels

Audi wheels will have Audi logo and part numbers on.

If you're getting cash then why worry, no Paypal or ebay over the top commissions to pay on, no worry about a PP scammer trying a chargeback, just readies in your sweaty mitt, lovely.

Some of the ebay BiN ads for spares are a bit optimistic to say the least, priced to sell, they sell, cash is trousered, everyone's happy.

I'm sure you will put this down to experience and be positive that you have free cash in your hand, but this is where google is your friend. Take the time to search for part numbers on unfamiliar parts, any genuine part will have a proper number and google it. This can come in handy too when it is a part for your own car, you'd be surprised how cross referencing parts means that your expensive, dealer-only part is much cheaper if it comes in a, "lesser" names box.
Be wary though, once you have found out how, "valuable" and, "might come in useful" some components might be, you'll wonder why you have storage units full of them.
