They look just like mine (not that I know if mine are real or fake). The only thing I can think of is the engraved writing, and I'm sure if somebody wanted to make a fake that wouldn't be too difficult to copy.

Doesn't Edward Lees sell LMGT stickers to stick on the inside of the barrel and then recommends to spray coal tar on them for that genuine look?

Btw, are there not any residue/genuine stickers still there on the barrels? Maybe they've been sandblasted and repainted huh?

Are the rotas heaps heavier though? I would say they probably weigh around 8kgs if I had to guess.

Mine don't have the "made in japan" stamped on the side of them like yours do, or the "forged monoblock" part. Is that a give away does anyone know?

I'm asking because they have been for a bounce over a curb and need to be fixed, but no point in fixing them if they are just rotas.

Thanks guys,

So yeah it looks like they might be rota's from everything you've said. Considering I got them given to me, it doesn't really matter too much.

They have a crack in them each and I actually like the look of them. Do you think they'll be worth fixing? I had a look and new rotas are about 1k new anyway.

Like Dyl33 said, I'm sure many people "hate" them (and don't get me wrong I can see why especially if you do have genuines). But i'd rather pay 1k than 4k for something someone has to look closely at to tell the difference at this point.

They're probably be fine for putting around on smooth roads, but when you start smashing through potholes/ripple strips, metallurgy comes into play a lot more than design.

Well I'm not gonna be driving it in the city so country roads aren't smooth. But I'm not gonna be taking it on race day. The guy I was taking them to has "assured no rim leaves without being 100% roadworthy" so I would think they would be OK for general driving. What you guy reckon?

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
