IF there's no stickers on the inside of the wheel (mine were right behind the valvestem) they are probably fake. Also unless they took the valvestems, they should be machined. Those look pretty close though, I can't tell from that pic.

You can kinda see the sticker on the inside of the wheel in this pick.

If there are not 2 stickers inside the rim, they are fake. Also, if it doesn't have this stamped next to the valvestem, they are fake. \/I/\

They should also weigh a little over 11 lbs.

Yeah you did, unless they're fake ahaha. Look for the engravings, if they aren't there post the address and name of the seller and I'm sure someone will pay them a visit and beat the **** out of them.

They look like NIPPON RACING te37 fakes with stickers. I've seen that done a few times. Hope they are real man.
