I bought these on the cheap not long after I bought my NA and then kinda forgot about them until now.
Any ideas anybody?

It's a knock off of volks TE37 CUP, an old variation on the current te37. Afaik the original only comes in 15" & 16".

Its a decent amount of dish for such a high offset hey?

I'm not a fan of the bronze, but I never really liked bronze wheels in general.
I'm tossing up between black and gunmetal + a polished lip either way. Thoughts anyone?

I hear some of the knock offs are quite light...

weigh them should be around the 5 kg mark..
every ounce counts
