Default AUTHENTIC OR NOT?

Theres this local guy that has these TE-37's for sale 17" in 4X100. They only have the Rays sticker as you can tell but no Volk sticker. And on the inside wells, thers not stickers either. I can't tell if they are real or not. Looks like Rotas with stickers to me. HELP ME OUT!!

Like others have stated they are FAKE. No stamping on the back and the valve stem lines up with the lug nut hole.

Thank you very much. I figured they were Rota Grids with stickers too. I just wanted to confirm.

I don't think they are rota's or Volks.Look more like the Konig replica's.The holes for the lug nuts are lined up incorrectly and it should have the rays stamp in the back.
