[bobreece]

what size tyers are on the mk4 r32 standard 18inch alloys?

[dubcruiser]

They were fitted with 225/40 R18 from the factory

how can you tell genuine alloys to replicas? and how much would you be looking to sell genuine r32 alloys for?

[bobreece]

anyone

Hi mate mine are genuine and they have oz stamped on the back also some have ronal which were the first r32 wheels made. Also replicas are much heavier. hope this helps

[bobreece]

so i should look for ronal tamped on the back then?

what kind of weight are genuine ones compared to replicas

[Grand Master Patch]

Genuine with tyre 23.5-24kg
Replica with tyre 26kg

Why did you start another thread? You already had a R32 wheels thread running!  

The early R32 wheels were Ronal and the later ones were OZ. They were the same to look at but have either Ronal or OZ stamped in the back. They can have either and they will genuine.

Replica's will be a lot heavier and can buckle if hit hard into a pot hole....

sorry abouth other thread  cheers for all the replys. one more stupid question having wheels refurbed, will that make they like new and does the refurb procese do any damage?

Ummm... It will make them look like new if they are done properly (by that I mean spending about £250 ish for the set to be refurbed) and no the process doesn't damage them. That would kind of defeat the object wouldn't it??!!
