are they new or used? Weight is the best way to tell...my 16x7 are 12.2 pounds. What size are they? Also, the finish is impeccable....

If I'm not mistaken they should have the Rays stickers on them, and they should have a Rays Engineering engraved on the back?

They should have the funky alloy Rays valve stems, There should be three stickers on the back(one Rays Eng. w/ serial #, one Rays export sticker, and a "JAWA" sticker). Also made in Japan and "REFG" (Rays Engineering Forged?)stamped in the back. And like above said the finish is FLAWLESS!

Re: Way to tell real Volks? (JohnnyBoy)

should be a sticker inside the rim saying something to the effect of "exported by RAYS, imported by MACKIN", (if two piece) should have RAYS on the bolts, should have RAYS valve stem covers (either anodized or chrome)
