Genuine or Rota?

[WalshDC5]

How can I tell if I have genuine DC5 wheels or rota torques? All the markings have faded on the back as have the stickers on the inside. Bought them today and they came with Honda centre caps. Can anyone shine some light on it for me?

Measure them, anything above 17x7 they won't be OEM.

Example 17x7.5 or 8.

Sound, thanks mate!

If genuine one of the inside spoke will have honda stamped in it, embossed

Get some pictures up.

Surely you'd be able to tell by looking? They look a bit different to each other.

Without having the rota and Honda wheel next to each other I don't think I would. The rota is a copy of the dc5 wheel. The guy I bought them off told me the offset is 45 which would make it a rota but when asked he said they're genuine. I'll get some pics up when I get back home Tuesday night

I did have a quick look but couldn't see anything. All the markings were pretty much gone

OEM is ET60, so you're right mate, They're not OEM.

Work Cai's are similar to OEM but I believe they have 'work' stamped into them on the face somewhere.

Most likley to be Rota Torques but pictures will help to identify them.

Should have this

Cool, thanks lads. I'll get some uploaded Tuesday when I get back home

Always thought Torques were replicas of Works CR Kais.

The shape is different around the centre, its obvious when you see pictures together.

OEM



The Rotas


Notice how flat the oem ones are compared with the Rotas.

What were they advertised as when you bought them?

OEM http://
Rota Torques http://

Crudely measured them with a tape measure and the tyres on and they seem to be between 7.5 and 8 inch so I'm assuming definitely not standard



All the markings on the inside apples are completely unrecognisable now too :/ doesn't appear to have Honda stamped anywhere. Guess it will become more apparent when I fit them and see if they sit inside the arch

 

[hondamad2204]

They are definitely 100% painted OEM dc5 wheels bud.

The tyres have added your width on....they are the standard wheels, so yes will sit quite far in the arches... See mine pictured above, first picture.

Design looks like oem

 

[WalshDC5]

Glad to get that cleared up! Just need to get some spacers on them now then. 20mm ones won't cause any issues will they?

oem wheels will be ok with 20mm spacers
