To answer your question yes, there are volk knock offs of TE-37's and other wheel by companies such as nippon racing, and some other companies I forgot about. Just open up a super street mag and you'll see it. However if you get fake volks, expect the wheels to be heavy and weak. Volks are costly for a reason...they are light and also very very strong. With large wheel diameters you can still run relatively low tire pressure without the worry of bending them while running over potholes on the street.
Contact OSdesigns, he can give the best prices on volk wheels if you want the real deal. If you want knock offs, go to an authorized nippon racing dealer. I believe nippon racing is from OBX if i'm not mistaken

Hey, I like the way the TE37, GTN, and GTC look. I will never spend that much money on wheels. I was just looking for some replicas.

yeah I feel you, rims are expensive but you know what they say: you get what you pay for
one thing you can do (although it is a bit ricey) is just get the fake TE-37 and go to a sticker shop and get the sticker that says "volk racing" and"TE-37" I know a lot of people who have actually done this and have had even me fooled with it!

if you do decide on replicas bc you don't care about the weight/strength don't put fake stickers on!!!!

Does anyone have the number to OSDesign. I am intrested in some volk GT-A's 17x9 in the front and 17x10 in the back. I heard 1FooknTiteFD say that he has the best prices on volks. Wanted to see if he could give me a deal on them. Thanks a lot for you help with the number.

You're not likly to find a knock off of the TE-37 in anything wider than 7.5", at least I have never seen any listed anywhere for sale, although you can try. Honestly I would recommend going with a nice set of Enkei's before getting a knock off of the TE-37 from Konig or Nippon. True they won't look like TE-37's but they will be a hell of alot better quality.
I don't know for sure about the quality of Nippon's TE-37 knock off but Konig's is pure shiat altogether. In fact I would urge everyone never to buy a Konig wheel of any kind. I've had two sets of different model wheels, and both were two sets too many. Either pick an alternative wheel like Enkei(which is usually around the same price as Konig) or look for a better brand wheel used.
Appearances may wear thin but a Volk TE-37 knock off wheel being steel will weigh a ton, cause your car to be slower in acceleration that you may or may not notice and you probably won't be as happy in the end.
