As above...

i have been reading online abit and most people say that with the valve stem and the lug holes for the 4x100 wheels are NOT meant to be lined up. Further more they should be SLIGHTLY offset in comparison to the valve stem...

i'm looking to buy a set and i wanna know how to tell.

thanks :)

1. the holes are not meant to line up with the spokes

2. there is never a chrome lip

3. they are never multi-stud

4. they should be very very light weight

5. they should have rays-eng engraved on them

=)

why dont you just buy them brand new? that way, it will have its original sticker

Any close up pics of them?

no pictures of behind the wheel. he lives in rowville which is quite the drive from my place... i need to know what im looking for genuine when i go and inspect the rims...

in terms of weight, how much should they be weighing?

according to a spread sheet, the volks 16x7 should be around 5kgs...

15x7 4.1kgs... omg so light... i might begin a hunt for te37s in 15inch size...

the idiot isn't responding so screw him. i'll just look else where...

yeah im with buff, they look fake. However when in doubt lift up the wheel yourself. They should be very very light. Even weigh them up and see if the specs you have go with the specs provided by volk

As D.N said, also check the inner barrel of the wheel for stickers and any engraved information. That usually tells a lot too.
