They didn't buy the company (AFAIK OZ are still in production), they bought the patterns/licence and made them themselves. Just not as well...

The stamps look like this on the early OZ wheels -
(Btm right hand side stamp, the sticker was added later!) -
(Photo taken in my garage
)
But I am not sure how you tell the different early magnesium OZ wheels apart.
(i.e. SP or heavier Nera, although I would not think there were many Nera wheels around, hence on eBay).
I am pretty certain that mine are the lighter SP wheels.
