Default Volk and Gramlight Wheel Question

I'm currently shopping for wheels, and I'm confused about the names of certain Gramlight and Volk wheels and their differences. What are the differences of the following wheels (and keep in mind each pair of wheels looks identical, just different colors and names)?

Gramlight 57-F
and
Gramlight 57-C
-Here, I'm guessing "F" means forged and "C" means cast. Am I correct?

Volk CE28N
and
Volk LE28N
-What are the differences between these two wheels?

Volk TE-37
and
Volk LE37T
-What are the differences between these two wheels?

My only guess is the difference is the color of the wheel and maybe some are "limited edition" or something. Thanks in advance for any help.

The difference between the CE28 and the LE28 is that the LE28 has a polished lip. Same with the TE37 and LE37. As for the Gramlights, I have no idea.

57F = forged
57C = cast

GL 57F's don't look like 57C's...spokes on the F's are more straight, C's are more curved...easy to tell them apart.
BTW, you do know Volk and Gramlight are both made by Rays.

Yes, I know both wheels are made by Ray's. Is Ray's a subsidiary company of Mackin Industries? Anyway... thanks for the info.

Mackin is an importer, Rays is the actual manufacturer
