So fake. My buddy has a real Deep Corn/Cone. Cost him about $400 after taxes and shipping. A real NOB can fetch more than that on the second hand market.

That being said, it looks like a decent wheel. But you can get a knock off for much less. Want a real Deep Corn?http://www.rhdjapan.com/jdm-lo...30658

White lettering, carbon ring, and horn button = Fake

It is a decent wheel in person, but its still a fake.

Well I'm assuming the seller knows it's fake which is why they don't give you a nice high res quality pic.

Umm, they are both 330mm unless the ebay one is lying about what size they have. The real pic is from a VERY reputable dealer so I know it's a 330mm.
