So I'm looking to purchase some Volk NR-S, but I need some help making sure they're real since I'm getting them at a pretty good price what are some signs I should look for in authentic volk wheels? What engravings? I looked for the stickers on the inside but he said he took them off, and it looks like they used to have the volk stickers in the front but they wore off with time and use...

And what lug nuts can I use with these wheels, since I know I can't use OEM?

 

looking into it it looks like it is a 2 piece wheel that is welded together? So I would thing a fake would not be welded. They very well also might have RAY ENGINEERING or RAYS ENGINEERING in the casting on the lip between the spokes
is this what the wheel looks like?


the inside of the wheel where there welded

 

Yes they look exactly like those, it has all of those words on them, as well as the made in japan and volk racing on the inside of the wheel.

 

Sounds legit, throw some pics up once you get them, how good a price btw? These don't seem to go for as much as the CE/TE/etc.

 

700 bucks, one of them has very light curb rash. 1100 with new Falken Azenis, but I don't have the funds to pay the extra 400 bucks :'( Nevertheless, a awesome deal! Will def post pics once I get them, I might just mount my current 195/55 Kuhmos on them till I get the money for some yokohomas!

 

Here are some pics that might clear things up a bit, it has "GROUP NR-S" embossed in the 2nd pic, and volk racing on the inside. And just to make sure, can I pretty much use any aftermarket lugs with these? I don't have the wheels with me, so these are all the pics I can post up right now.







I just noticed the "made in japan" was on the tire, not the wheel they still seem pretty legit to me

 

Yes any aftermarket lug nut will work, and those wheels defiantly are legit

 

YES! I'm so stoked to mount them on my tires and car, after I get a nice set of lugnuts of course

 

I too agree you can use any aftermarket lug nut. Nice find, enjoy them!

 

Most definitely will! Thanks guys!

 

In the 2nd pic you posted of the wheels, are my eyes deceiving me or are those slight cracks? I hope they are not cracks and if not, nice find.

 

^ not sure what you're looking at, if it's the outside of the wheel, the part that says made in japan, that's the tire. If you're talking about the lip, I think it's just dirty, haha

 

Yep deceived eyes. Looked again and can see it's the tire. hahaha

 

Whooooo, damn I thought there was cracks. Hahaha, can't wait to have them, I'm so stoked now, I was about to settle for rotas, or drags.

 

One last question, does anyone know if I'll need hubcentric rings for these wheels? If so what size? Thanks!

 

Do you know what size the center bore on the wheel is?

 

No clue :l Could a tire shop help me out, since I'm most likely going to get them mounted at Americas Tire Co. I just wanna make sure I have them with me so they can install if they don't have any...

 

Snatched up more pics before I confirm my purchase, you guys still think they're worth 700 bucks? I mean they are volks, and I'm planning on re polishing them or maybe powder coating them. They have a few nics and scratches... anyone know how much these used to retail for? I don't wanna dump my hard earned money on something that isn't worth it, I was considering getting rpf1s instead, but I like these wheels A LOT.

Excuse my indecisiveness
