No its just under the surface of the paint, i have seen these wheels with the logo showing on a site somewhere,
vwr must have filled the name in and selling as there own  :angry:

Can they be obtained at a more ecomomical price from the original manufacturer, I wonder?

Yes, they can...but with shipping and taxes, it comes out pretty much even, if not dearer.
I did enquire...and ended up goung with VWR as they had them on offer at a decent price (mine were from the same batch as Neils)
