19's would be money but im not that extreme with the low offset. it def looks like major fender stretching needs to be done and i only plan to roll the rears.

SSR SP1's btw look close to Meister S1's but are very different wheels.
But compare a Leon Orden wheel and a Work Euroline SL, or even a Maya DTS and a Rays Lexion 203. I think the difference between all of these said wheels and replicas are pretty easy to distinguish though, lol.

honestly theres so many rims out there its hard to really make a design that much more different than the next and not everyone knows what a top brandname rim is anyways. usually only autoenthusiats know something about volks and such. Like most of the other non enthusiast TL owners out in the world probably cant tell the difference between real TEs and fake TEs.
ive seen many people in audis drive with Fake RS4 rims but i cant even tell unless they tell me. quality is off but looks wise its a perfect match

I don't think it's the fact these look exactly like the Volk TEs is why people are calling them fake. It's because they are made by an unknown company and are simple cast aluminum. Volk TE37s are forged, extremely well made, and are extremely lightweight. These wheels are the complete opposite of all 3 of those characteristics (i'm sure they aren't crap, tho).
And giving the example of Work Meisters to SSR Professors is completely irrelevant here. Both Work and SSR are very well known and highly regarded wheel companies who both make high quality wheels. So you cannot use that comparison here...
Whether you like it or not, these wheels are fake/knockoff versions of the Volk TE37s.
EDIT: I just want to point out that I have nothing against these wheels or anyone buying them, I actually think that Teal color they have is . I may consider picking up a set for the hell of it.
