Hey Friends,
Going to go pick up these CE28 wheels tomorrow. Just wanted to get some insight as these are my first wheel purchase, and there are plenty of fakes out there. I'm pretty sure they're real, but just wanted a sanity check. Thanks in advance!

It's hard with CE28's because even the fakes look like real ones. Unlike TE37's where you can CLEARLY tell they're fake.
From what I can see, and based on your specs, they appear to be authentic. This is just based off the photos I'm seeing and the 5+ sets I've owned over the years. But take it with a grain of salt, I could be wrong.

Thanks for the response! Yea CE28's are tricky! Aside from weight and decals, are there any other tell signs I can check for to confirm? It looks like they've been painted so it kind of makes it tough.
Their weight is a good indicator. If they are cast they will be much heavier. Easier to tell without tires but you could look up the tire weight and subtract that to see if the weight lines up with reported weights for ce’s.

@Manga_Spawn Yea, Unfortunately I won't have a scale when I go look at them. Driving about 4 hours to go get them. For $1500 it's a good deal, but don't want it to be an overpay for fake wheels lol
Go buy one. it's not like you can't stop by target or walmart on the way.
Spending $25 to insure yourself against buying fake wheels seems like a good way to spend that money. And, now you can step on that scale weekly so you don't fall into the 70% of Americans that are overweight/obese, and if you do and don't own a scale, well, that might be why...
Real or Fake CE28
