How can you tell Volk TE-37s are authnetic?

Besides the inner sticker..Is there an engraving as works have??

Do the decals come already on the rim?


Thnx in advance

 

anyone can spot the difference between a volk and a rota. i mean, the lug nuts are .0067704 inches further to the left on the volks. duh.

... no really... I thought about laughing.

 

Grids

TE's

Notice how the lugs line up with the spokes on the grids. Also on lug lines DIRECTLY up with the valve stem. The Volk's do not do this. This of course ONLY works with a 4 lug. As for any others.... if you have EVER seen a real TE37 you will NOT mistake it for a grid. In person they look like TOTALLY different wheels.

Ghey.

 

the spokes on the Volks get a little narrower towards the outer part of the wheel..as to where on the Rotas..the spokes are the same thickness from the center to the outer part of the wheel..

 

Very easy to spot grids once u own a set of te-s youll be able to knock off the fakes with ease

This is also true although its harder to see on a smaller wheel... MUCH more evident on an 18 than a 15

I dont live in a bubble... you have nothing to burst. I am sorry you cannot see differences but if you have EVER seen the two next to eachother in person.... you would know that the Grids look exactly like what they are, a cheap knockoff. They do not REMOTELY come close to the quality of the real deal. Every person with grids that saw my wheels said... ****... I should have bought the real thing, they look SO much better. So I am sorry that you cannot afford quality parts and want to go around on the net telling people how to spend their money... I believe it is YOUR bubble that has been bursted there big guy

^^ look at the lug position. its different from the volks. 2 of them lines up with the spokes.

funny, a honda owner talking about being poor sorry i have more intelligence than most on here, and i CHOOSE not to blow money on JDM parts.

YOU ARE NOT A BALLER BECAUSE YOU HAVE VOLKS OR MUGENS ON YOUR HONDA.

and a normal person who does not study JDM wheels cannot tell the difference, nor do they give a **** about your gay ******* wheels on your shitty car.

 

breathe in...breath out.

sheesh

Wow... gay ******* wheels on your shitty car... sounds like we finally graduated middle school. Grow up bro and realize. PS. I NEVER said you were poor... I said you couldnt afford real deal wheels. Now is saying that you cannot afford a 747 saying you are poor???? no... I think not. Also I am reading and studying here and am not seeing where I claimed to be a baller??? You are apparently reading different posts perhaps on a different thread??? I dont even have Volks... I actually roll on SW388's Also do you realize that perhaps... people buy things for themselves??? Who really cares if anyone ELSE can tell if my wheels are real? I know I dont... that just makes them less likely to steal. This guy asked an honest question about a set of wheels so that he could buy them without getting scammed and you come in here starting a real vs. fake argument... Talk about trendy

 

like i said above, isn't there a sticker on the back of volks/rays wheels with all of the information? or don't they come with paperwork? personally, if i was going to spend that much money on wheels, the person selling them better have some paperwork from the company or something. or at least the boxes.

edit: this has been covered over and over and over again

Thanks..

I know about the sticker on the inside..
I can also tell the difference bwteen the wheels..

I just dont get why eh said "I have the decals..Just didnt put them on yet"

I feel like the decals should already be on the wheels?

he could have took (taken?) them all off because one may have been damaged, and he ordered new ones and did not put them on because he was just waiting until someone bought them. i have an idea; ask him why the stickers are not on there!

but if you can already tell the difference between the wheels, and know real from fake, who cares why the stickers are off. you can tell the differences just by looking at them. right?

 

The TE 37 decals do not come mounted to the wheel, but they are supplied.

you are ******* retarded. your post makes no sense. you ask what the differences are, then you say you know what they are. what you really want to know is why he doesn't have the stickers on the wheels. and i gave you a very logical explanation as to why the stickers would not be on the wheels.

 

Seriously man... take this

or perhaps they make a trendy off brand version that costs a dollar less for you. You have already proven your intelligence in this thread... just quit while your... err ahead

A ....... retard??
So you're a tough guy on the internet??

Please bro..Anyone who talks tough on the internet is straight ***** in real life..
SOrry about your insecurities but dont be hard on forums..Thats straight ****** ****..

Yes I know the differences by looking as them side by side..So I should buy grids to compare..

The fact that the decals are not on has me skeptical..So I figured if anyone had other ways to spot their authenticity besides what I already know..That could be a help.
