Best way to tell is to check the backside that goes to the hub. There can be seen material which is not machined or painted. And if you know your material charesteristics you can spot the difference between forged/stamped aluminum and cast texture. The cast has a grainy, kind of porouce texture if you see up close. If you compared cast and forged backside up close a few times you will be able to tell from just that.

Thanks for the tip! Great description!

I have the exact same og black te37s on my mugen civic si. They put a smile on my face everytime I walk outside. I was worried they were fake for a long time since I got the set for 1000 lol.

[@TheJMedia]

That's a steal! Yea definitely nice wheels!

[@TheLatinlover9574]

Most of hondas owners just buy the stickers 😂😂

[@allstars808]

I just picked up a set. My wheels have exactly as you mentioned thank god 🙏🏽 1600 for the set with nto5’s. Can’t wait to throw them on the hatch

[@TheJMedia]

That's an awesome deal on a set of TE37s! Glad you found the video helpful

I totally agree!

[@originalstickers]

On authentic TE37s, the valve stem does NOT line up exactly with the bolt hole. This is one of the simple hallmarks of the older versions that don't have as many markers of authenticity as the newer ones do. If you get out a ruler and draw a line between the valve stem and the center of the wheel. You'll see that the bolt hole is slightly offset towards the spoke immediately to the left, it isn't being cut perfectly in half by the ruler. FAKE wheels have the bolt hole cut exactly in half.

[@TheJMedia]

To the naked eye, it does look like it aligns but now that I look at photos of the wheels, it doesn't exactly line up. I had the wheels verified a few times and it is a pre 2010 wheel so I was a little skeptical at first since I wasn't familiar with older TE37s. Thanks for the correction!

[@SpencerHogg]

Awesome buddy, love the TE's too, sheesh!!! I've got a few new videos up of my Tacoma, we're preparing for our Canada to USA expedition next year, you might enjoy a few! Have a great weekend dude!

[@TheJMedia]

Thank you! Yea I love the TE37s! My all time favorite wheel! That's awesome. Sounds like a fun trip!

[@Eggsplanepls]

this helped alot. I will be buying a used TE37c in white set this Sunday. Will run me $2900 w/tires. 17x7.5 +40

[@TheJMedia]

Glad you found the video helpful! All the best with your new set of wheels!

[@Eggsplanepls]

ended up getting Advan RZ2 lol

[@TheJMedia]

Still great wheels! Advan makes nice stuff too

[@1264-t4y]

hi J Media great video! how did you do the bass boom effect on the start of your intro? that's pretty cool

[@TheJMedia]

Hey, thank you! I created that channel intro to play at the start of all my videos!

[@1264-t4y]

@@TheJMedia Any videos or presets that can teach me how to do that effect, it's really eye catching! also great wheels

[@TheJMedia]

Thank you! Hmm not really. If you are interested, I can make one for your channel for a minimal fee. Contact me through Instagram @jus_tyn if you are interested!

[@TheWrgtt]

Glad to know mine are real, bought a car with te37s and the car was only 7k so just needed to know

[@TheJMedia]

Sounds like you got the car for a steal considering how expensive te37 wheels are

[@jdmemergencyprojects682]

Great video thanks a lot, going to help me check if some te37's I am going to buy are legit. As for 30-40 years. No, 20 at best. They became a thing in the end of 90ies and became widely popular in 2000s. 30 years ago they began making lm-gt, GRC and those types. Good luck mate

[@TheJMedia]

Thank you I'm glad my video helped! Ah I see, thought they were around since the early 90s for some reason.

[@johnjames8641]

[@saramayerivera]

Help me sir. I lost one of my center cap, TE37 RT 17", just wanna know if you have an idea of its size? Thank you.

[@TheJMedia]

Sorry I'm not sure about the center cap size. I believe Evasive Motorsports sell them on their website. You should be able to find size there

[@adriandy510]

hello! quick question, if I’ll buy fake wheels, will they have the same quality as the original ones?

[@TheJMedia]

Great question! They may look the same but build quality is different. Real TE37s are forged Wheels which are much stronger and only bend if you get in an accident. Fake ones are not forged and built with a different process. I've seen fake wheels crack into many different pieces in an accident or if you hit something

[@findpurpose8038]

Fake is far from being Original’s godlike quality especially volks.

[@arceecanakan5566]

Where can I buy original from Philippines?

[@TheJMedia]

Not sure who carries Rays Wheels in Philippines, but you can check to see if Evasive Motorsports, Bulletproof Automotive or Art of Attack website will ship to overseas

[@qJooosh]

how many times does he say te37?

[@TheJMedia]

Great drinking game! Take a shot every time you hear TE37

[@qJooosh]

@@TheJMedia lmao, i’m just bullshitting bro! great vid!

[@TheJMedia]

Haha thanks man I appreciate it

[@Takon_pilot]

how do you even get real te37s in the first place

[@TheJMedia]

If you want to buy TE37s brand new, you can look for a company that distributes Rays wheels. For example companies like Evasive Motorsports, Boost logic etc. For used, you'll have to look around on Facebook groups, for sale pages etc

[@Candybuiltsi]

Wow I got I’m guessing real ce28sl’s for free all four! I looked up they look exactly the same and this video just sorta concludes they’re real crazy thx man

[@TheJMedia]

Oh wow for free?? That's insane!

[@FreakyTici]

Whered u get the reps

[@TheJMedia]

These are authentic TE37s

[@Venomenon2023]

How much original te37?

[@TheJMedia]

For the OG TE37s like these, depending on the specs of them, they usually go around the $2000-$3000 range used. These are the early 2000s model

[@paulroque7820]

Great video... but to comment Grids are not replica's :D

Haha thank you!

volk rays from thailand "Japan inspired" mags cn be trusted all along replicas.. it's like keihin from japan and another quality from thailand.. u cannot simply tell these manufacturers as fake producer of magwheels since not only japan shared their their designs thailan is also authorized to produce it.. do some further research not only to d product alone bt also d background of manufacturers selling affordable but w/ good quality of mag wheels..

[@nlbb373]

Replica will always be replica

[@Slurm_Daddy92]

Why does it matter?..

[@TheJMedia]

Just wanted to make an educational video for those who want to know how to spot the differences between a real and replica wheel! I've had replica wheels before so it's all a matter of preferance

[@Slurm_Daddy92]

@@TheJMedia did the replica wheels perform well?

[@TheJMedia]

Replica wheels re typically heavier and not forged. With wheels like Ray's, if you were to get into an accident, they bend vs a cheaper wheel would crack and break into piece

[@Slurm_Daddy92]

@@TheJMedia i honestly appreciate the info because I am buying wheels for my audi a4 but it's hard for me to spend 3k plus and that's not including tires! I just love the design of the volk ray te37 and didn't know if the price is worth it.

[@TheJMedia]

Totally get it! TE37s are great but expensive like you said. If you like rays wheels, but don't want to break the bank, you can also look into Rays Gramlight Wheels which are more affordable. Usually around $1500 and up

[@carbonoxx]

sorry but this wheel look fake to me......

[@TheJMedia]

I've had it legit checked and it is real. I also recently bought another set of OG TE37s to compare
