Replica Rays Te37s

[johnbarry88]

Hey guys just seeing alot of these te37 copys that are hitting ebay just wondering if anyone has bought these and found them to be any good. They have vork ravs stickers on them to get away from the copy rite a think, oppinions would be good.

Hi John

i have TE37 replicas i bought from tyre place in brisbane.

They are magnesium and therefore extremely lightweight, but they are also very strong.

I dont know the quality of the ones on ebay, but the replica TE37s i have are great quality.

Magnesium hey?

excuse my cynicism, but you know that the magnesium version of TE37s are around twice the price of the standard forged aluminium TE37s?

don't be offended, but i don't think yours will be magnesium - they'll be conventional gravity cast alloy.

don't believe everything you're told, or even what it says in the casting! Taiwanese and China manufactuers will cast anything into the wheels...

I wholeheartedly agree with the above post.

the only thing that im SURE of is that they are very very light and have took an absolute beating by pot holes

So what exactly is considered light these days? I can pick up a TE37 in 18" which weighs just under 8kg with two fingers...that to me is light.

lol, Vork Ravs. now available in Mangesium. check your wheels, they probably are Mangesium, or Magnesiun etc...

Hmm I was going to buy some rims shortly but I was worried about them getting stolen.

I think that, in those stickers, I have found a solution.....

There is a new process with casting metal which is alot lighter than before.. they now weight similar to forged items yet do not have the strength of them

[ITZTRU]

yeah my mate has drifteks and say they were light as. almost like when they picked up the box, it felt as if nothing was in them. i didnt really beleive they would be as light as the actual LMGT4's. i guess they use the new process with casting metal as you're talking about?

[DECIM8]

read it in hot4's .. gota be true lol

[ITZTRU]

ohhhhhh! hot 4's! well shit...why didn't you say so before? you're right...it's gotta be true then! hahaha

stock R32 GTR wheels weigh 7.3kg each. bang for buck? oh hells yeah.

i guess they use the new process with casting metal as you're talking about?

this revolutionary process wouldn't involve casting so that the cross section resembles an aero chocolate bar would it?
