Are Volk rims good?
TE37s are highly coveted because they perform superbly on the track. Despite barely tipping the scales, these wheels are heavyweights that can take a beating. The people at Rays hit a sweet spot with the TE37, and it all starts with how these wheels are made. Being cut from a single piece of aluminum isn’t enough.

How can you tell a fake TE37?

Are te37s worth it?
For me, the TE37 is my favorite wheel. I have em on both of my cars. You can’t go wrong with the classic 6 spoke design, being lightweight, and forged. I personally think they are worth it for the price, it’s really up to you if you think they are worth it.
Are RAYS forged?
Fortunately, RAYS doesn’t. Forging, one of the oldest known manufacturing methods, is the process of shaping metal through compression, and is precisely how the life of a TE37 begins. The mold-form-forging process, which RAYS uses, creates the wheel’s shape during the actual forging process.
Where are Volk wheels made?
Japan
And since 1996, the TE37 has been manufactured solely in Japan. In fact, Rays’ entire operation is based out of Japan, where all of the company’s design, manufacturing and marketing efforts are conducted, which ensures the sort of quality RAYS expects, and that JDM fan boys can continue to sleep soundly at night.
What does TE37 stand for?

Are Volks worth it?
So it’s really not worth the money unless you really like the wheels. Those wheels are also suprisingly strong for lightweights. If you have the money and you like the wheels, then I would get them. But if you are looking for the maximum performance, get something cheaper and get some more power mods.
When was Volk Racing founded?
1996
Volk’s TE37 dates back to 1996, when Japanese wheel manufacturer RAYS first released its one-piece forged aluminum wheel to consumers. Once considered a luxury reserved for the likes of formula cars that you can’t afford, RAYS helped introduce forged wheel technology to people like us with its Volk Racing line.
