so is it safe to say that the TE37 sl will carry these engravings as well?

I hope so...because I plan on leaving the red sticker face blank =)

They DID stamp 'Forged' on them when the first released the knockoffs.

the SLs might just be left alone, i doubt it would add much weight, but they already shaved portions of the spokes and center lug area to reduce more weight, i wouldn't imagine they redesign the mold for the SL to include the embossing.. you can instantly tell its the SL by trying to attach a normal center cap, since it will just go through.. the hole is larger than their standard centercap area..

hey ches,

check this out

http://cornerbalance.wordpress.com/2...-lap-pictures/

When I saw these pics it was before I saw this post and you can clearly see the new tags on the rims, I was confused as hell because on the promo pics of the sl's they don't have them, but here they do.... Any insight vivid? Just out of pure curiosity...

^..yeah i'm excited to see these wheels in person. It seems like it's hard to capture what it really looks like because many of the pics look so different. I bet it's going to look awesome in person.

They (Rays) are and have been more sick of them than any of us remotely are.

Varrstoen doesnt impede on our revenue or steal designs and potential customers from us.

Why did RAYS only stamp their 19" TE's instead of the 18" TE's in the first place?

Very true, and that saying a lot because we all know how heated real vs. fake te's can get.
