ok i bought a set of 2nd hand rims in japan auto shop called up garage and i'm wondering
details about the back of the rim
it has a jawa sticker and many japanese writings on it.
it also had engraved telling it's japan.
15x6 and 1/2JJ OFF40 ENKEI they are all engraved.
date manafactured 04 dec 16 21 27 EB-1

at the front of the rim:
there is only one enkei name on it and it's engraved telling made by enkei unlike in pictures i saw a logo of enkei and its name.

so im just wondering if its fake or not cause il send it to the philippines.

thanks for those who are going to answer

pictures.

but most likely fake because there's no 6 1/2 jj for RPF1 in 15" size. the offset only came in +35 and +41 for 15" in 7jj trim.

You mentioned engraved, but most rims are embossed, means molded together with the wordings. Engraved is to cut it.
The wording, is it "Japan" or "Made in Japan". Japan only means made elsewhere but Japan Brand.

Bro, the design already is a clear cut clue for you.
It's not even close to RPF1 design.

See how the spokes are integrated into the rims.
Spokes are also different.
