Welds could be better on the aftermarket one but not something you would normally see so a minor issue. http://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/graphics/parts/19010MAJG20_2_large.jpg (http://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/graphics/parts/19010MAJG20_2_large.jpg)

They are aluminium. Is that the same as the OEM?
