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.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
