What is the size, bolt pattern, and offset?

Check for the "MADE IN RUSSIA" stamp on the inside of the hub, and check for the Desmond stickers. The stickers should be on the barrel. They SHOULD be there, but sometimes people remove them. The only reason I would remove them is because I don't have a garage and theft in San Francisco is a HUGE problem.

if they are 15's then the weight of a real rega would be roughly 9lbs w/o the tire. for 16" it should be in the 12 lb ballpark.

and yes on russia and yes on the desmond tags. ^

i would say yes but then it depends on where the stamp is. it has to be either on the inner wall of the barrel or stamped on the back of the mounting pad of the rim where you will see the bolt holes.

they could of been painted but then i know of a few other companies that had the same rega designs and the rims were made by desmond but they were rebranded for sale. cant really reemeber the brands but good luck either way
