Anyone have an opinion on this as far as authenticity and provenance?

The wheels appear to be later style.
What would the correct wheels be... early monoblock?

Ticks a lot of boxes.

AMG / OZ 3pc would be the correct wheel for this.

While it ticks a lot of boxes, yes, it was panned by the peanut gallery on BaT due to no clear conclusive evidence the car was/is a 6.0. This brought to light the topic of Japanese fakes being out there. No documentation on engine mods. The seller, a reputable member, was asked to confirm displacement via a few means, had planned to but decided to re-auction at a later date. Guess it won't be coming back on BaT.

Thanks Bondavi. Probably why the seller didn't get back to me about documentation I asked if they had.
I hadn't seen it on BaT.
