I bought a cheap wheelset from fleabay and I was just wondering if these hubs are genuine Hope ones?

Thats the only picture I have at the moment but rather than the usual laser engraved hope logo its just a sticker. Anyone recognize these as being genuine? Im thinking they could just be older models. Is there any way to check for sure that they are the real deal?

    Can't tell just from that pic.

    What model did they claim they were? Might be an old Hope XC.

    They are apparently Hope XC so could be old ones, I will get some better pics but I only have my iPhone camera at the moment.

    They are Hope XC hubs, got them on both my bikes. I think they only made them for quite a short time though.
