Real TE37s?

My friend from my class wants to sell me his TE37s. Hes giving me a pretty good price, but I'm not sure whether they're real or not.

It has the VOLK stickers on the spoke, the "Rays/Volk, etc." engravings on the wheels, but it doesn't have the stickers inside the wheel that I've seen on other TE37s.

I'm no wheel guru, but everything looks pretty legit IMO except that it doesn't have the stickers inside of the wheel (behind the spoke on the barrel).

Any ideas?

The sticker could of peeled off, but i think if it has the engraving, i'm pretty sure its real.
But dont take my word for it!
It just makes most sense to me :P

Pics could help confirm but the engraving makes it definitely seem legit. My knock offs don't have the engravings/don't run any volk stickers but not like a sticker would be enough to tell anyway...

I don't have pics of his wheels. I've only seen them once when he brought them to class.
He's giving it to me for $1200 with tires. He needs cash because he's in some **** with the wrong people.

So the majority is going for legit? I'll probably jump on them then.

depends on if they're 18s or 19s...

i think 19s have the engravings on em, but 18s don't.

1200 sounds like varrs to me.

Also, lower in the thread there is a picture of raised engravings of RAYS ENG and MADE IN JAPAN on the hub on the inside.

Go through all the posts and there is more information and pictures for you to make sure you don't make a wrong purchase.

I've just done research on Google and I dont think Varrs wheels have engravings on them.
Real Volk TE, CE, LE, RE should have Made in Japan, Forged Monoblock, 5x100... on them.
