Looks like this: http://www.upgrademotoring.com/wheels/gramlts57rc.htm I have never heard of this brand. Is it reliable. Cause I am searching for new tyres for my car and if my rims sucks, might as well change it together.

Sorry me never heard of rays engineering. A bit noob in rims esp. when it comes to Jap brands. Me only heard of brands like BBS, AC Achnitzer, Hamann, Volks, Enkei nia. The rest never heard before. grams light sounds like some ulu ulu brand to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gram Lights is a good brand la.. go and take the weight of the rims.. if very light then most likely it's real one.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini-itx2010 Neutral Newbie October 29, 2010 Author Share October 29, 2010 Oh ya that's the other issue.. how to identify ah? Good question. I also don't know. Cause casting can be exactly the same. Even the words etc all the same. Maybe its the weight? Perhaps real ones are supposed to be stiffer and more rigide hence heavier? I did handle the rims before and feel its very light. I think its replica stuff else cannot be so light. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I handled before and its very light. But skeptical about it cause light means less material and so most likely fake rims. Real ones should be heavy and rigid. My rims already have curb rashes and the material looks like aluminium to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galantspeedz Turbocharged October 29, 2010 Share October 29, 2010 Oh ya that's the other issue.. how to identify ah? i seriously duno.. but i guess got to remove rims.... and 1) weigh it... 2) look at where it is from if not... drive it hard over pothole in malaysia and see if it breaks?

My rims already have curb rashes and the material looks like aluminium to me. not necessary.... forged rims are very light but very strong and uber expensive it is how it is made and with what material... that determines the weight.....

Should be the other way round. Replica rims should be heavier than the real ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why should it be heavier since replica should be less expensive hence less material used? Cause it doesn't sound right for replica rims to use more materials for the rims.

Zyrofillica 1st Gear October 29, 2010 Share October 29, 2010 dun think there is anything wrong with replicas unless u are paying ORIGINAL prices for it. as long as ur car is pt A to B car and not trackie, replica rims shd be no problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
