Beware Of Fake "Made In Japan" Sport Rim !!!

[TitanRev]

Why in "Made in Kepong"? I guess it will cost lesser than "Made in Malaysia"...

Bump: Why in "Made in Kepong"? I guess it will cost lesser than "Made in Malaysia"...

Hakf the price of 'MADE IN MALAYSIA' 5 years more...'MADE IN KAMPUNG'

Dats why original 2piece and 3piece rims are still highly demanded... They say dat taiwanese cant make the detachable 2piece/3piece rims. Well for me VR GRN, VR CV-Pro, Enkei RS Evo, BR Banana 2pc, are still among my favorite rims. Cheers

In fact we feel the pinch too. FYI we import our used rims and parts from Japan directly.

Just another word of advice is that original Japanese rims usually has a sticker on it and most importantly is the fininishing and the material used in forging. Most imitation rims are die-casted instead.

To differentiate the ori and fake Japan rims is to drop by our place to view the original rim and then back to the tyre shop and view the 'Made in Japan ' rims.....

FYI, not all Japanese rim are necessary made in japan, FYI EVO REGA MASTER is made in Russia .

Just my 2 cents worth

Ok...just my another few cents worth on how to spot a fake Advan RG .

Pics below are pics from an original RG Advan from our shop.

1) Look at the paint. Hard to explain..but you can easily differentiate the ori and the fakes...
2) Look at the the print of the wordings . The fakes uses a very low quality stickers that can be easily peel off
3) The ori rim, if you look under light, the side isnt painted , but has a finishing which is like anodized finishing
4) Also it has a sticker from JAWA ( Like JASMA )
5) The price tells it all
6) Ori ones are light where fakes are heavy !!!!!!!!

just my humble 2 cents worth of advice here

Known some sifus who r expert in this kinda things.. They can easily differentiate by looking at the rims...
They dont even have to touch or 'ketuk' wif 10cent coin to identify if its fake @ genuine...

Actually, it's not good for the market of those selling original. Like what race parts said. Kesian them also.

I heard that the 99.99% Advan RG also have those JAWA stickers... but never seen it personally... anyone can confirm it? :rolleyes:

Most of the imported Jap rims have this sticker. JAWA is like JASMA , its Japan auto wheels association...........

But also the process makes a diff in a fake RG. A fake RG or maybe i should say, most of the Taiwanese rims are die-casted, where it means melted molten of aluminium & alloys are casted in a mold. Wherelse higher quality rims are forged, from a single solid piece of aluminium alloy to its shape. The structure internally are much more stronger. Also the alloying element in a more expensive rim like magnesium , plays an important part in its rigidity and toughness and strength of the alu-alloy materials

Its true... For easy comparison, just put on weight... Genuines are significantly more lighter..
