Look on the inside of them at the part number. Originals should have something like: 36 11 6 765 816 or 36 11 6 765 817.

Also, if they are a staggered setup with the rears being 8.5 and fronts being 8.0, I can almost guarentee they are originals. So far I haven't seen any replicas that offer staggered wheels.
