Help me out. I haven't seen these rims in person because the seller lives really far away. The reason i asked is because some ppl told me that the on real volks; the lug holes doesn't line up with the spokes and the other two doesn't line up with the valve stem....but in the pic the spokes clearly lines up with the lug holes and the valve stems also lines up with the other two lug holes. so is it fake...can someone confirm this?

Thanks



sorry for the huge pic

need a better pic, but i'll take a wild guess and say it's real?

 

real but yea there needs to be more of a side pic

 

maybe a tag, some markings?

 

i think they are real.. the holes arent center.

 

fake

 

ill go with real.

ive stared at enough fake volks and real volks in my life ... ill be willing to bet it's real

 

fake.. real TE-37s done have any lug holes that line up with the spokes.. this pertains to 4 lug from what i know.. not sure about 5 lug.

 

These are real. You can see how none of the holes line up.

 

^^^ exactly.. and oh how much i want those wheels..

 

honestly... who's going to pay attention... but since you really want to know i guess whatever. but serious haha. you can pass those for real volks... awesome

 

another thing is that fake ones.. IE Rota.. the spokes are more flat when compared to real Volks.

 

My first reaction was to say real, but after looking at it closer, i'll have to say fake. One way to know for sure, is to ask the seller to take a pic of the inside of the rim, which will say Rays or Volk, i forget which.

But the two things that i noticed first were
1. the stickers aren't original, b/c the Rays sticker should have an outline around it,like the Volk does. (u can see what im talking about in the pic of the wrecked volk rim below--which is mine btw)

2. the part that i circled in red, that indentation isn't in my TE-37's nor is it in the other Real TE's pictured above...

 

^something i would have NEVER noticed.

 

I think you can pass those off as volks lol. The average person has no ******* clue how to tell. If I saw those in person before I read this thread I would of never knew. But know I know But yet again the average person has no idea wtf volk is

 

These are real Volks

 

after what Aznspeedracer said, id say fake but **** man those could pass for real to me and for alot of other people.

 

I think real volks have a raised m on the front of the wheel.

 

Isn't on the center of the hub (on the back) it says Rays ENG.

 

If it has this then they are real.

 

That sticker on the right "rays" totally kills it.

wow damn i would've just totally bought those and told everyone i have volks hahah

 

i believe the real problem in buying a wheel that looks exactly like the real thing is the fact that you're paying big bucks for a fake, when you thought you were really getting real TE-37's.

 

Thanks for the help guys. I was going to pick them up today but after talking to the guy something sound suspicious. I asked him numerous of times if they real...and everytime he would answered "yes". Good thing I asked you guys. Would have wasted 8 bills for some used replicas. He is trying to selling them on craigslist so watch out...here is the link
