The outer lip of the wheel looks as if it has been sanded down to remove imperfections (e.g. nicks, curb rash, etc.)

Stickers on the spoke or inner barrel can be reproduced, so don't rely on those to determine if it's real or not.

The lug nut holes being offcenter with the spokes is a good indicator that the wheel is an authentic TE37.

It is commonplace to see Volk Racing wheels stamped 5x100 but actually have a 5x114.3 bolt pattern as one mold is used to produce the wheel which is then drilled out to different bolt patterns afterwards.
