I am looking to buy a set of TE37s (I havnt seen them yet), and I was just wondering if there was a way to make sure they arent fake? I know some ppl try to put Volk stickers on Rotas and pass them off as real... So I just wanna make sure these are real... Just incase they dont have the Rays label on the inside of them, is there something else I could look for? Like I know some Mugens have "Squeeze process" on them, or the Mugen Power charectures imprinted into the metal... But does Volk have anything like that, that cant be faked? Just dont wanna get ripped off u know... Thanks in advance!

 

Look on the back of the wheel on the inside of the spokes. It should say like Made in Japan or Volk. If rota's then they'll say made in the Phillipines.

 

K great! Thanks for the info man!

 

Just going by your sig, I'm assuming you need 4x100... If so, I believe there is another quick visual you can do to determine a TE37/knockoff. All you need is even the crapiest frontside pic of the actual item, then observe the position of the 4 lug holes.

If two opposing holes are in-line with the spokes = copy, Rota Grid:


If no lug hole lines up with a spoke = real, Volk TE37:


Only works for 4-lug and this model...

Here are the knock-offs on my coupe (Grids )...the spokes are slightly thinner I believe.

 

Those look SICK! With the bronze and red... I so prefer bronze to white... But I cant find a bronze set for the same price as the ones Im looking... Anyways, thanks for the info guys!

 

 

now i found somewhere i can get some gram lights, for $180 for tires and rims...they say gram lights and i believe they are real?? is that a good deal or not?

 

used maybe. but not new

are those 16's ?

look real good on ur car

 

If you can lift the wheel with your pinkie finger its a real volk..&lt;--knows from experience, it was a 19" rim BTW.

 

Real volks have the weight of the rim in kg imprinted inside the rim (I think that applies to most models).
