These rims came with the car when I bought it, but not too sure how to tell if they are genuine volk wheels or not.

Ive uploaded some pics below of whats on the back, it says its made in Japan etc, but who knows. Little bit dirty obviously they havent been cleaned in a while :D

With the tyres on they weigh about 16kg - does that sound a bit heavy with the tyre on ??

Would be nice to know if they are genuine or knock offs if I ever decide to sell them.

Well if you take the tyres off hey should weigh about 6kg. also depending what size and width of course, but give or take +1kg

If they all weigh the same atm, you only need to take ONE/UNO/UN tyre off hehe :thumbsup:

haha..should i have meant tyre instead of tyres.

I would be inclined that the individual would be smart enough to do exactly that.

Unless you want to be thorough and 100% sure they're ALL genuine.

If its stamped 'made in japan' on the rear than more than likely its the real deal. Also check for the original stickers on the inner rim, that should give you a fair indication too but just by lookin at it, seems to be the genuine stuff!

well they dont say VORK made by RAVS engineering, thats a good start, to get the actual VOLK stickers would be a massive pain in the arse and not worth it to do it on a non volk rim, just to look like volks, i tried to get new decals for my work meisters.... 16kg is a reasonable weight... not heavy by any means.
