How to Distinguish the Authenticity of Wheel Hubs

Jul 07, 2025 Leave a message

One is to look at the workmanship. Generally, the workmanship of high imitation and counterfeit wheels is very rough. Due to the low precision of the molds for counterfeit wheels, there will be sharp burrs at the edges and corners of the wheels. Due to cost issues, the original factory wheels are sprayed with paint of the same color both inside and outside. Counterfeit and high imitation wheels have significant color differences due to cost issues, making it easy to distinguish between original and forged wheels in terms of appearance and workmanship.

 

The second is to look at the font inside the wheel hub. Whether it is the original wheel hub or the counterfeit wheel hub, there are data such as the wheel hub brand, place of origin, etc. on the back of the wheel hub. The font of these data inside the original wheel hub cannot be imitated by counterfeit wheels. Therefore, when purchasing wheels, car owners can remove the wheels from their own car and compare them with the wheels they are going to buy. If the fonts inside the two wheels are different, it is recommended that car owners think twice before making a decision.

 

The third is to carry the weight. Counterfeit wheels have significant differences in weight compared to original wheels due to differences in cost and craftsmanship. Therefore, when purchasing wheels, car owners can remove the original wheel hub and compare it with the wheel hub they want to buy. If there is a significant difference in weight between the two wheels, then the wheel hub that the merchant will give you will definitely have some problems.

 

The fourth is to look at the price. In short, cheap goods are not good. If the well-known brand wheels sold to you by Auto Parts City are only a few hundred yuan, then you need to be wary of this kind of pie in the sky.
