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.
 
i think so i also checked the enkei.com and it does not show any of it but my concern is its been manufactured 2004. also i called the up garage and they doesnt sell fakes but only originals. szz but i have a big doubt :banghead:
 
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.
 
Im looking for this rim but very hard to find PCD 114 17 x 4 hole..i was told japan did not produce this size.not sure rite or not..
Btw nice rim u have bro..
 
in the picture it says japan only . now i know the differences of engraved to embosed lol:idea:
btw guys u can't see the pictures i uploaded ? also it's embosed sir not engraved.
 
ya bro i think better u fix the picture 1st...easy for others to help...
 
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.
 
This rim is not aftermarket enkei rim. Its an OEM enkei rim, just like the enkei for myvi ori rims.

And its definitely not RPF1 design. Also RPF 1 is 4Kg+
 
the picture upload by you is not enkei rpf1..
