Default J's 1600mm

Anybody know if these wings are worth the money for function. Or is an apr gtc200 a better bang for the buck. My car is no show piece and more of a track car. Looking at one and just wondering if anybody has experience with one, not just of show.

Thanks

From what I understand, APR and Js wings are the exact same thing. I mean hey, looking at all the pictures online, I can't see any difference. Or do I need glasses?

I think you're mixing them up. J's and Voltex are the same wing essentially.

APR is different.

I think story goes Voltex/ J's does real wind tunnel testing whereas APR does some sort of modeling.

My personal opinion is either will suffice in a general amateur level racing function

Yes Voltex and J's are the same.
APR is completely different.

All are functional at the track.

Is the price difference worth it for the Voltex, J's wing.

Probably not beyond the name and maybe look. The side plates on the voltex and J's are a little fancier looking I guess

Does anybody know how to tell an authentic from a fake. Im looking at a j's second hand and don't want to get screwed.

I can take some pics of the Js wing I have this weekend and send them over to help out. I think the only badge they have is where the side plate is mounted to the wing and therefore covered.

That would very helpful. The end plates should be easily removable to show the name plate?
