Most Volks Racing rims will come with the original Jap sticker on the inside of the rims specifying size and offset. The weight for forged rims also play a part and I dont tink chiong VR look rim can be as light as original. The curve spokes for CE28N original and chiong ones are diff in some cases. Still I think weight and built quality (the forged arms and quality of paint etc etc) is the most significant.
If the fake VR has fake stickers, weigh the same as original and has the same type of paint work, then go buy the fake one lor and save lots of $$$. In real life, no way so go weigh the rims first.
Cheers
