All the fakes i have seen before have had something that gives it away on the pad, be it the print, the stitching or just the way they look in genral.

I know the yellow looks brighter but so does the blue and the red

Looking at the 2 here if they are fake they are foooooking good

Maybe worth a gamble me old mucker, fantastic price if real, 30 quid over repo if there fake

When I first saw them I thought fake, I kept looking and could not see anything wrong about them . If someone has faked them I would have thought that someone on here would have seen others about somewhere. Would it not cost a fortune to just make 1 set?

I have paid for them now anyway...... So we will see when they get here

They look real from here Matt

the foam might be a give away though

( Like you said everything about them is a little brighter )

What are they worth if they are real

around £200 ?

Either way , nice buy

Are they supposed to be light blue on all the colours? My chrome ones have black foam

Black foam has got to right on Chrome ones, its stiched in the stem pad

But then again, mine could be fake

That guy that does them does not put "Flite" on them. I might be wrong but I thought he sort of had permission as long as he did not do that. I am not saying that he might not have done some though? but then would you risk it if you had a good thing going on?
