Did my car come with real VOLKS?

Here is a pic. I think they are replicas, but they look basically the same as the gtc volks.
What do you guys think? I know they have the real center caps, but that doesn't mean anything.

Look real to me, most reps don't have the slotted barrels for the face mount and often have the valve stem in the lip.

Best way to tell, take them off and look at the back. They're will be markings and also hardware that hold them together.

But my money is on real.

Those are definitely real. All gtc reps I've seen have dual drilled bolt patterns and the stem doesn't go through the face. Easy way to tell is feel behind the Allen bolts on the face, if there's a bolt with a nut on the end, they're real.

GT-Cs are probably the lowest value volks out there.

via and mc is imprinted on the side right next to the 2 bolts. Via and MC is on each wheel once. The 10 sets of 2 bolts holding the 2 piece wheels together all have nuts behind them.

Why do you say that? Not very desariable? sorry don't know much about wheels, I would have kept them stock if these didn't already come on the car.

You could even sell them for 3000... if you find someone to buy them.

But looks real to me!

Well i'm not sure honestly, but you just have to do some searching to see what previous sales on those wheels went for. Good luck!

yea.. 1500 sound reasonable. Different volk wheels have different value. I think GT-C & GT-7 has the lowest resale value. On the higher end are the TE37s and anything Mag Blue.

Why not keep them?
