Default real Work VS-XX or not?

I got these rims on a car i bought, im trying to find out if these are real Work vs-xx or if they are knockoffs. they resemble them, but on the new vs-xx the spokes dont go all the way to the lip, they stop short. plus mine have a cover over the lugs. but work is stamped inside the rim, inside the lug cover, etc, so im pretty sure they are real, i guess they could be really old versions.

i know there are a lot of rim experts here, just lookin for some info, TIA. here are some pics.

see further down for pics. yeah they are big.

They are definitely not Rezax's, but close.

Different center caps, and rezax logos are different.

You definitely have real Work wheels, just not the VS-XX, but they do belong is the same family. You have the earlier versions. You have the VS, pretty much first generation.

Same with me I got VOlk GTU's but the spokes are different, I have an earlier gen, and the sticker on them says they were made in 1992.
