I don't think it's a polished lip, I think it's a machined lip.

i didn't see any LE37TA, tho i saw alot of LE37T ... i thought they probably had something extra.
maybe it's the finishing reference? e.g. Gloss Black, silver, etc.. while the others are the matt finish?
or maybe the shape?
e.g.
bent to the inside
while this
is just normal

LE37 and LE37T are the exact same thing. The difference in spoke curvature is due to a cobination of width and offset, its all the same wheel though
