I purchased a used set of black racing pro n1 wheels today, two of them are faded, and two are brand new. my question is on the old faded ones the size of the "spoke" is 3/4" on the brand new ones the size is 1", could this be a replica? i have never seen replica's of black racing pro n1's before. thanks

 

nobody knows?

 

 

im not for sure but definitly sounds like it...do they say black racing on em?

 

yep, they look exactly the same, even the labels on the inside of the wheel.

 

are u sure they are the same widths and/or offsets? could be 2 different production lines

 

they are the same widths im not sure of the offsett, from looking at them they look the same. could the width / offset change the size of the spoke width? (width from looking at the spokes on the wheel looking at it mounted on the car)

 

if the offsets are not marked in the rear of the rim w/ a + or et symbol tehn you can measure them yourself using this link: https://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html

i doubt someone might try to pass them off as real br rims. that would be ridiculous.

 

i was thinking maybe if the offset of the wheel is different, they may look different? the distributors of them don't post pictures of all the wheels and offsets, usually just one. dunno, just an idea. could this be the situation?

 

still don't know if these wheels are fake

 

well if they are stamped br then like said before they probably are NOT fake, its probably because they were produced at different times and maybe the design was revised to prevent any possible faults (cracking, bending)

 

today i checked the offset on each wheel, on the wider spoked wheel, the offset is +44, which is the only offset i've seen websites with a 16 x 7 wheel offer. On the 3/4" spoked wheels, the offset says +40. I havn't seen a website offering that offset. To make a long story short, people know what the 3/4" wheels came off of, and are sure that the wheel is genuine. im stuck again

 

i say if they look the same then rock em...just run one pair (same offset fr) and the others in the rr.

wait...do u mean that the front width(face) of them are diff or the depth of the spoke is diff?

 

front width, yesterday i was running one pair on the left and one pair on the right, cant see both at the same time , but then i remembered that they are directional tires and can't be mounted that way. I have the wider width spokes on the front now.

 

In for pics

 

definitely pic would be nice to help solve this

 

FACTS:

there's noticeable colour different between older badge and new badge, my bronze wheels is darker than new one at superautobac.

the writing on the rims is not a sticker, it's more like a paint. you can't peel it off in one piece or even lift a corner at all. I have to sand it with get off the paint off.

THERE's PRO N1 knockoff(I am surprise as well, knockoff of a cheap casted wheel), you probably can't find it in the state, there's a place in HK that sells them.

 

ill take pics tomorrow with gf's digi cam, ill have them up asap.
