Yes. They're reps, bought them for a good deal and I do plan on buying real wheels next season.. Feel free to blast me to outer space though.

They look like real wheels to me.

People stress too much and put too much value and effort in having an "original" wheel design. Who pays your bills, you or the other people looking at your wheels?

I'm assuming here and forgive me if I'm wrong but you probably are a younger fella, right? Some day you'll look back and wonder why you put effort into spending thousands on something when you could spend hundreds and be just as happy. You'll own a home and know that the extra $1000 or two spend on overpriced name brand wheels could have been put into the house and netted you quadruple that initial investment. When you buy a wheel, the second it goes on, you already lost a chunk of that cash spent.

If you are happy with the wheel, keep it. It looks good from my monitor.

I'm more than happy with these wheels, and by no means will I ever try to play them off as real te37's.

Interesting logic. I always buy higher end wheels used, and wait patiently for exactly what I want. I've landed two sets of BBS for a grand a pop, and a set of Enkei Rally wheels for $600.

It's worked for me, I hope these wheels prove to be strong for you. I like going with originals personally but that's a preference.
