Could get a sweet deal deal on a set of te37s (17x7.5) just want to make sure theyre legit. Any imput would be appreciated.

I know one thing for sure is that the lug hole needs to line up with the valve stem and thats what it looks like in this picture. Anything else?

Il have more pictures up when i get them from the guy.

Theyre real....also if you look inbetween the lug holes itll say rays in the casting (inside the hub area)

One of the most obvious things would be to weigh them. a TE37 should be 15lb's in that size.

Too bad these have tires on them. That'll be interesting to estimate.

Thought I replied but they appear to be legit...unless someone stole the decals somehow...and got rays valve stems as well....try and get a pic inside the hub area...itll say Rays 5x100 and all that in there....inside between the holes

Nice! Then bring a fish scale or something and weigh them.

I google searched the image, found that exact picture for sale on some japanese craigslist type site for 60500 yen

http://aucview.aucfan.com/yahoo/b155493474/

Perhaps they were imported, and now being resold.

I translated the page, it's an auction site. Looks like the auction ended April 12.

Still a good price, I bet the winner paid a pretty penny for shipping. If that confirms anything.. they're Rays

Duuuuuuude thats awesome thanks so much hahaha but yeaa the guys trying to make a little bit of money it looks like, he bought them for one of his cars but ended up not wanting them he said

DavidBob · 05-10-2014, 01:50 AM

Correction he bought them from a friend and never got around to use them so maybe his friend was the one that won that auction. Either way,
