only way to see if they are in fact stolen is to ask him for receipts.

Not the most popular Volk wheels (nor are they 100% forged), so that could reflect the pricing. If they were TE's or CE's at that price, I'd say jump on them.

But GT-N's...meh (on a Honda). They are a forged outer and cast center (2-piece wheel). They are a step above a Gram Light but a step below a 1-piece forged TE-37, CE-28, etc.

Only reason I even thought he may be a thief is because these wheels go for 600 each new. So wheels plus tires = around 2k for 800 bucks. Seems like a steal to me. Im guessing these are a nice upgrade from rota slips though

800 sounds about right for wheels with curb marks. the tires might be worn down as well, but i can't see the tires clearly in the picture provided.

I HOPE THEY FIT!
Im not a pro on telling if rims are real or not. But these Have multiple "VR" and "Volk Racing" Label molded to the inside of the rims. So I think theyre real. Ill take pics later when i finish cleaning them up. BTW thanks for all the input guys. Appreciate it. As for quality. Ive seen a pair of knock off volks and there is NO comparison to the quality of a real wheel. I own rota slips as well so I know somewhat what fake looks like . I was amazed by the detail that goes into a quality-made wheel

What's the offset and bolt pattern? That'll tell you if they fit.

Not sure on the offset. Bolt pattern is 4x100 though. Theyre on 205/40zr17 tires right now. If they dont fit I guess ill just put em up for sale.

The offset should be cast on the back of the center section of the rim ... like the picture you provided with RAYS ENG and MADE IN JAPAN.

4x100 is correct for 02-03 EP3.

I have a set of EP3 front flaps you can have for cheap. No rears, though.

Well guys, Got the Volk Gt-N's and they fit perfectly. But somehow I cant get used to the look of them. I actually like the look of my slips better. Dont get me wrong, theyre very nice rims but silver Gt-N on a silver ep3 just doesnt flow. Im thinking about getting some PIAA FR7's. Can get them for a steal of a price and they dont look that bad. And hell, theyre made by Work Wheels so they cant be half bad

I told you those wheels would look funny on a Honda Post up a pic, though. Or, you could take them and have them painted. That way you could fix the curbage on them while you're at it.

But, my problem with them is the bolt heads showing on the outer edge. You need them for a 2-piece wheel, but IMO they just look silly on a FWD car.

FWIW, PIAA wheels are usually boat-anchors. Do a search for the weight before you buy them.
