I mean I may be wrong but the concavity for that size(looks to be 18's to me) isn't offered by Volk and the spokes almost look too thin. IDK... I'm probably seeing things but with as much wheel whoring as I do, usually if something doesn't look right... it probably isn't.

i can't tell if flo is right on those te's... they look suspect, however
i think we're looking at 18x10.5/9.5 +12's...

we've only had one or two sets float on this site in that sizing.

The rest of the car appears to be put together with high-quality parts so I would be surprised if he cheaped out on the wheels. But wouldn't a +12 offset TE37 have more lip, even considering the amount of concave?

I don't think those are +12's... my buddy w/a S2K wanted to buy my BBS LM's and he couldn't fit 18x9 +20 on the rear's w/o them sticking out by about 2 inches and w/o running -4 for camber on 245/35/18 tires. The S2K in question isn't running a stretched set up(even though the rear has heavy mods) and I think the dead give away is the front front fenders as they aren't pulled.

That's the thing... how do you know that the parts are genuine? Those could be Bride Taiwan seats, knock off ASM front(Password JDM sells them), and Shine makes those sides. There's something not right about the wheels... I'm not dissing the set up but I'm not sold that they're genuine.

All valid points. But I can't help but believe that Fishtix has more scruples than to post pics of any sort of RAVS / VORK setup.

I also believe that s2k are on reps, I could not see any engravings that an authentic one would have. To give him the benefit of the doubt he might be running +15 or maybe even +12 cause he has rear fender flares

There was a thread on here a while back regarding the embossed words on te37s an how they appear on all 19" versions while on 18" it's not necessarily there. I don't remember all the details or outcome ofthe discussion. I'd dig up the thread but I'm on my phone at the moment.

They just recently stared putting markings on non 19" versions due to replicas. Before then the only outside markings were the JWL/VIA around the valve stem.

Your correct... 19's have the Monoblock, Forged, Made in Japan engraved in them. I believe the newer 18's have this info in them but the earlier versions did not.
