| Original LR alloys - any part number on them? |
|
Can anyone tell if there is a way to identify original LR alloys? No part number but JWL and VAI signs are visible, load rating 955 kg, made in Taiwan. Original or aftermarket?

Likely to be aftermarket. All LR wheels should have LR logo and a part number on them, and they are not made in Taiwan as far as I know. 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
Any issues with the site let me know!

The 20" I have just taken off ours had made in Germany along with Land Rover plus all the other info,
the 19" have LR logo and made in Italy, think both sets rated at 960kg?.

Thank you gentlemen for sharing the information. Spotted also the numbers 773 which probably points to aftermarket. So...this happens when a b  y foreigner orders a set of original LR take offs from a dealer (from UK in this case). It seems that the story & email correspondence continues. Let's see how it ends...
