Looking from the back they are 3 piece wheels. If you lift one it should be heavy considering there 3 piece rims.

Multi pieces wheels should be lightweight, not heavy weight. That is why they are expensive: lightweight + strong! So check them on weight scale and report back.

You wrong on that note. I own plenty of 3 piece and they ain't light. Hence why there expensive. Compare to my volk forged the weds 3 piece I had are heavier.. It might be lighter if its fake.

I want to clarify. I mean it is lightweight, not heavy weight like the cast wheels or OEM wheel. I know that forged monoblock can be lighter than the multi pieces.

Not able to weigh them as i have to travel a farther ways to get to it. So trying to determine if real before wasting any time.

They looks like vsxx to me. I've never seen a true 3 piece replica either. There should be a JAPAN stamp on the back of the Hub though.

I own vsxx and have had three sets of Work wheels.

They are real 3 piece like I said. Look closely at the stamp engrave you see the model vs-xx for the series of wheel works.

Also it's hard to see anything considering most of the pictures are pretty damn blurry.

Like others have said, I've never seen an exact replica of the Work VS-XX. There's lots of mesh style wheels but most don't look close to the VS-XX or they are one-piece with fake bolts. The ones in the pictures look real and just like the set of VS-XX I have. However, I think they have been disassembled and powdercoated, could be wrong though.
