this one is a replica la.if it doesn't have that centre cap,i would've been fooled too.like ong teck weng said should write made in japan n not japan racing.plus the price is too good to be true.even 2nd hand ssr rims doesn't cost this low la.

Best is look for stamps behind. SSR do have this model of rims. Its SSR Gt2. But the one posted seems like a fake. Real GT2s do not have the smaller holes beside the lug nuts. And center cap also not original. Look for Speed Star Racing stamp behind.

Just look for a small sticker with japanese wording. all ori jap rim have this kind of sticker indicatuin, the s/n, date and some thing like that. :biggrin: and of cos Made in Japan.

If japan racing and 1.6k, more likely it is pirated version already.

the SSR rims are replica...coz the price is too cheap for an ori.....
it should be made in japan...not japan racing...
and look at the back of the lug holes....should have the offset, jj, made in japan and size...for ori
