Hey,guys got a concern and need a real non trolling answer please,I bought me some what I hope to be real volk ce28's,I got them powered coated because they were repainted the blue color that they come,and when my buddy them originally were the bright orange which they were bought new. Now they did have the rays sticker's on the inside, which they don't now from getting painted blue.They did have, which I still have the rays valve stems. I looked this up and just can't seem to find 100% answer why I'm ask you guys if any of you have came across this issue. I was completely unaware they could be fake for the fact of the stamping on the wheel so I never questioned it.......but now I'm worried hopefully you guys can help and if anybody has some real 15" ce28's please post pics so I can compare.
Again please don't troll this post looking for a real answer I work and bust my *** for my car and money wise a lil' deep in the wheels. Thank's for any help.

Think I may be heartbroken at this point.....

It Wasn't Me

Yeah, it sucks. Better luck next time.


If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for them? Hopefully not too much.

Aftermath_Hatch

To be honest really don't wanna say,but I can tell you I paid 350.00 to get them powered coated,and like $40.00 for the volk sticker's....Think I may throw up.....I work so hard to buy legit **** for my car this sucks.....never questioned it because of the stamping.

Konig Flatout:


PS. I'd measure your wheel's width, since the Flatout is only offered in 8" wide widths.

Aftermath_Hatch

I thought the "Y" in the mood was cut off because it was a 15".....no I was wrong these pics.are legit,but I didn't know...never questioned it are did my boy, only reason I found out is because I went to Volk's site to compare color on the bronze...

They are konig flatout's I can't belive a company like konig would put out a rim stamp like this,I mean I know there def not the best rim out there,but they have a name that's
been around for along time,I mean rota doesn't even stamp a wheel like this....so disgusted right now.

The bronze looks damn good though, mind sharing the powder name/brand?

I hate seeing this, can you contact the guy you bought them off of?

He obviously listed them as Volks and went so far as to but RAYS decals on them... I'd be pissed at him, not Konig.

Konig didn't list them as Volks, you could have bought them brand new for $100 each from them.

Aftermath_Hatch

The guy I got them from is one of my best friends,and he didn't know I now he didn't I was with him when he bought them and again was never a thought they were fake because of the stamping on them,hell I didn't even know a konig flatout was made until last night.I guess it is what it is lesson learned.

WERD up

lol konig is so lame

Did you get these from Ben Torres?

Aftermath_Hatch

My boy Wesley Lebouef bought them from someone out of state think we met the guy in Mississippi,he had an EM1 coupe so may have been him not sure was about year and half or so ago.I can tell you they were bright orange when Wesly bought them. Guess it really don't matter at this point.

One more thing guys I'm going to go with a set of mugen mr5's I think now,again I know rota makes a rep like this and some company lenso I think it was made a rep. but are there any out there with any stamping I may be unaware of that could look like the real deal.

Eddie

Damn that sucks OP, but they do look good none the less. Good luck on finding some other wheels.

Legitimate MR5's are multi-piece wheels. If its a one-piece wheel (meaning the hardware along the rim of the wheel is fake), then they're not Mugen made.

Yeah those were Ben's old wheels. He was also under the impression they were Ce28s as he paid Volk prices too.
