What's the consensus on these - the real thing or fake? They look genuine to me but you never can tell can you? I think I'm going to buy a pair but wanted to ask beforehand.

    Real or fake, you'll look like a pillock.

    No change there then. More to the point though is do they look the real thing?

    None of the Oakleys I've bought from Oakleys website come with lenses in plastic and around 1 frame arm lol

    Be very surprise if they’re real, never seen genuine Oakley than comes with 4 lenses only the fake one does, fake Radar locks are on the market.

    Ok thanks I will stay away from them. I looked at the feedback and they've sold a few pairs but nobody has left neg mess or mentioned they are fake.

    If in doubt, don't. Not in terms of E-Bay anyway.

    Yep I agree, doh! I should really have known better than to think they were real! It's a bit of a shock ppl sell fakes for soo much cash.

    cheers troop for the link, I will keep away from fleabay and have a good look around this week.
