Hi, I've just managed to get a set of 19x9.5j Tom's wheels for my 3GS430 but I want to know if there is a way to tell if they are genuine or not...

I can't find and stamps (other than offset) on the inside of the wheel but as Tom's wheels seem to be quite rare I can't find another set to check against.

Is anyone else running these wheels and if so, what's on the back?

Part Number | Size | OFFSET | Reference Weight
42610-VP802-D1 | 19 x 9.5J | 45 | 11.8 kg
42610-VP802-D4 | 19 x 9.5J | 25 | 12.2 kg

Anything over 12.2 kg and I'd say you've got a dud.

Ok... fitted with 235/35/19 tyres they come in at 21.2kg

So that would suggest maybe they are genuine? Or at least forged?

Given the #'s UniSlay has provided and combining it with the average weight of a what a 235/35/19 tire weighs, which is around 10.9kg. If you do the math, it comes out to around 22kg .

That's pretty darn close! I guess the numbers do suggest that they're the real deal.
