Default Volk te37 or knock off? Any help appreciated

Hey guys, I came across these wheels and need some insight from you wheel masters. So I understand that volk te37's lug pattern isn't supposed to line up with the valve stem and I also know that the lug pattern isn't supposed to be perpendicular to the valve stem. What has me thrown off is it has the correct bolt pattern axis (correct me if iam wrong) but the stamps on the back don't say made in Japan or rays eng.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys

Fake. If you don't see"Made in Japan" or "RE" for Ray's Engineering, it's a rep.

That's what I was thinking as well because the stamps don't match right? If I'm not mistaken te37's were never stamped "te37" right?

Never seen TE37s stamped "TE37".
Also look for it to be stamped 4x100.

You can see the craters above the TE37, that's from casting. Definitely not forged. I vote fake as well.

Spokes poke out too much at the 'lip' of the wheel
