I bought mine in 2006 just as member "yoichi" did and neither of ours came with that 2001 logo:



from:
https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-...cret-gold.html

I ordered mine directly from Volk/Mackin Enterprises as TOP SECRET GOLD (part of the part number) from there listings at that time.

"noble gold" is a lighter and pale color yellow compared to the the TOP SECRET GOLD and is noticeably different.

I think a lot of wheels are sold as *Top Secret Gold*...indicating that they are same Gold color as the real McCoy...but they're not the actual limited editions.

Here's another pic of the REAL DEAL:





Having said this..I'm no expert in this matter..someone correct me if I'm off base on this.

Ok...
Bottom line..these do NOT appear to be the *rare* original limited edition TS wheels. They seem to be run of the mill Volk golds.

Default Top secret gold

Gentlemen,

My apologies if I offended anyone. Apparently there is some debate with in the Wheel gurus about the authenticity of the wheels. Unfortunately I no longer have the original order and packaging paperwork anymore that shows the authenticity of the color as ordered by and from our direct Sales representative from Macken Industries - Volk/Rays wheels US Distributor, He specifically stated that it is and ordered these TE37s in the limited edition TOP SECRET GOLD. (The same exact gold color produced for TOP SECRET) At the time and even today it isn't really that big of a deal that its the same color that TS has, I just particularly wanted this color which is more rich in gold than the standard Volk gold which is lighter in appearance and looks more pale yellow.

I can only give and base the information posted on how the wheels were originally ordered directly from the manufacturing company (VOLK/Rays wheels). So If I was lied to by the direct Volk/Rays represenative and he produced a fake invoice that stated the color, I guess these other companies and wheels owners (below) were also lied to as well by other Volk/Rays representatives.

Here are more examples of TOP SECRET GOLD volk wheels that also do not have a "sticker". I could care less about a "sticker". The LE TS gold color was the most important aspect of the wheel IMHO:

But you're *claiming* that they are *limited edition* and *extremely rare*...
this isn't just about color here. I don't think you can make that claim based on you have here. Like I said..many claim that the wheels are *TOP SECRET COLOR*...that isn't the same as being the actual original limited edition TS wheels..which are pretty rare indeed. Just my take.
