A chap over on the MSC has just bought a set of what are probably MWS "Revolite" 7x13 four spoke wheels.  He's bought 'em from an e-bay add listed as Revolution wheels. Do you guys know if there are any distinguishing features of gebuine revolution wheels, logos in the casting or whatever? He paid a premium for them because they were listed as Revolution and wants to build a case to either open a dispute or negotiate some money back from the seller.

If they're like mine everything will be cast on the back face of the spokes. I can take some photos if you want?

Those do indeed look like the MWS ones, I've got 2 of them at home that I can get some pictures of the marking on later if you want? How much did he pay for them? I bought mine new from MWS at a show for £200 for 2 of them, with new yokohama A539's on them. I remember noticing a difference to genuine revo's, but I can't think exactly what it is right now. They don't seem bad quality wheels though. Edit: These are my ones if it helps:  |

Well, they say Revolution Wheels and Made In England on the rear faces of the spokes   Though they are a little bigger (15x7), and five spoke   |

Thats good enough for me thanks Sowen, judging by the pictures I'm thinking surely they must all be stamped with ' Revolution Wheels' then (mine ar'nt).
Can you take a picture of the back of yours please Robin. That way I can confirm mine are MWS Revolite's
Thanks guys.
