Re: Real VS fake Volk TE37

17x8.5 +35 Volk TE37 These have a different sticker too. It's been a long time since I've seen real Volk wheels in person so I can't remember clearly which sticker is correct.

Incorrect.

Those certainly are Volks. Whether or not they had stamps along the lip, is dependent on the generation of TE37 they are, and the sizing they came in.

Here's a picture from one of the TE37 brochures:

Re: Real VS fake Volk TE37

They are real.. I wouldnt be judging the authenticity of the wheel by its face.. look at the inside of the hub and 'RAY ENG' should be stamped either on the hub or inside the spoke.

Re: Real VS fake Volk TE37

Those are real. If you can get a closer pic of the wheel, the lips are anodized polished bronze with the centers being matte anodized. Fakes are matte bronze on the whole wheel. Te37 did not always have the stamping on the outside.

I have no idea what that means, as this is an English speaking board, but if you're asking if those are legit TE37's... no, they are definitely fakes.
