What model is this (volk wheels)

Just wondering what model this is. I always thought it was called the "TE37" but I went to the Rays site and it is slightly different.

Anybody know what sizes, offset, stud pattern etc these come in?

Anyway of identifying real and replicas? Is the Rays Eng sticker and/or the stamp on the inside hub enough?

[T-onedc2]

They don't look like TE37 to me but I can't identify them either.

Decal placement is correct, but replicas usually say "VORK" or "ROYAL".

[power_of_dreams]

Yeah, decals look good...

The design looks like the one in the top right. Notice how the hub is concave in the other versions. If someone could confirm the shape are te37s, at least I know what I'm after and can look at stamps/stickers/weights etc.

[T-onedc2]

Rim's should have a name moulded into the actual rim maybe even on the other side. Can you ask the seller for more pics? It's really up to them to prove it's genuine.

The shape of the spoke will change with different offset but the first pic doesn't look right.

Edit: Now that i remember there is another Volk wheel that looks like the first but the model escapes me.

i was gunna say te37
lol

[power_of_dreams]

Also noticed they appear to have the JWL and VIA stamps nex to the valve stem. And the bolt grid appears to line up with genuine set.

Looks similar to TE37 Gravel... the other Volks Racing rims I was thinking of was GT-P but I don't think it is...

Don't your one have any label?

[wtfhax]

They are TE37. They come in many sizes/offsets/stud patterns to suit heaps of cars.

The replicas would have fake stickers 'VORK and 'RAVS' etc... they would also be heavier in weight too

[Jarkz]

I don't know if it's the pic or the rim size, but the actual spoke seems thinner in the 1st pic compared to the 2nd pic?

[power_of_dreams]

look the same to me. they both seem to taper off towards the rim. Going from those pictures alone I'd say they are genuine.

I wish to weight them but theres already a set of wheels on them so it'll be hard to tell.

[chunky]

but te37 has concave in the center
those ones have a convex in the centre

[power_of_dreams]

They're not really convex, more flat..

As I said before, looks similar to the top right one from the volk website...

[power_of_dreams]

is there any way to tell offset and bolt pattern apart from the sticker?

[power_of_dreams]

well it seems they came off a skyline, I have doubts about offset now...

[[CRA23]]

the spoke design depends on offset and width, almost every te37 is differnt.

te37's you can get them made in all most any size and offset but you will be paying threw your teeth for it.

that wheel looks like its around +45-+50 offset

[power_of_dreams]

How can you tell the offset? Just an estimate?

I'm communicating with the seller via email. He doesn't know the bolt pattern either so I got him to measure that up to see if it is at least the right bolt pattern first. Quick google search suggests skyline uses 114.3mm, which is a good start. Then because the rays stickers is pretty much destroyed, I might have to do a test fit.

[r-r-redEuro]

they should be real geniune te37's it says on the label with the date made. and the first pic doesnt look right maybe because the tyre size it big and the rims look abit smaller ?

[power_of_dreams]

The sticker is goners!

The tyres are dodgy as anyway. Austyre Eagle? And look at the tread!

[[[d a n n y]]]

they are TE37's just different offset and width than what u guys are used to seeing

[power_of_dreams]

gonna get a testfit done sometime soon.

[z3lda]

who cares what they are, te37 's with weak offset is homo

[zco]

believe me.. even if you have tyres on it.. pick it up and you will see if its genuine or not. on the inside of the wheel, where the holes for the studs are, it will have embossed RAYS ENG

[YeS2000]

what about LE37's? could it be them? the Limited Edition.

[chargeR]

I think those wheels are real, but as others have said they should have embossings on the back of the hub area.

LE37s have a polished lip.

Don't need the sticker. The offset is imprinted on the inside of the rim. Like in this pic, at roughly 8 o'clock position. There is a number "48", signifying +48 offset. Look for it on the rims that you are looking at buying.
