There should be a mark cast into the wheel on the back side of the hub. Should say rays eng made in japan something to that nature. Also the valve stem is supposed to be almost in line with a lug whole. Like 1/8th" from being centered with a lug. There is also usually a mark on each side of the valve stem cast into the wheel.

Those are definitely Rota's. The lug holes are a dead give away. They're worth about $300-$400, depending on tire condition.

Knock-off's. No "Made in Russia" stamp makes it a dead give away.

^^^

Although if the seller tried to pass them off as te37's I'd have to say "f-you, here's $5" just for the principle of misrepresentation.

^ Lol at the guys signature.
Good idea coming here for advice on the tires, nothing worse than spending some serious $$ to find out you were scammed.

My te37's do say made in Japan, but nothing about Rays.
