Look fake to me. TE37 spokes get slimmer as they near the lip. This is a lot less noticeable on the smaller sizes but the spokes here look really square. The lip also doesnt look the same. Also the holes for the lugnuts go all the way to the inner "bowl" (if that makes sense) on the TE37s. Ask him to send you a picture of the inside to see if they have the RAYS Engineering sticker on the inside that tells you the size. On the 4 lug, no lug holes line up with a spoke. Also, the back of the hub should show "RAYS ENG" "MADE IN JAPAN" "VIA whatever the weight is" and "VIA whatever the lug pattern is."

Those are FAKE ARSE GRIDS!

Like icharrlz said, the spokes get slimmer. And the spokes are thinner.
The bowl where the lugs go is deeper.
The edges of the real ones are smooth, not all edgy.
Where the spokes ends at the lip, they should have a smooth curve to them.

Lol no I think they're still kind of expensive. They were a more aggressive grid look-a-like. Now Rota has the offroad grid or whatever.

Regardless, They're all knockoffs of TE's
