Replacement rims

Looking at some different rim options. Saw these on fleabay (I know).

https://www.ebay.com/itm/21-Audi-S8-S7-A8-A7-S5-Wheels-Rims-Black-OEM-Factory-21-58898/123580422900?hash=item1cc5f79af4:g:9xIAAOSwE7JaWFO c

How can you tell if rims are oem or fakes? Also, do the A7s require tire sensors or does the MMI detect low pressure or problems via abnormal wheel rotations?

Thanks all in advance
