from what i can tell so far it appears to be pretty good, search around the forums as there are plenty of members running varrstoens that could probably give you better input on varrstoen wheels

woooow.... love it. thats all I needed to see. Definitely going to purchase these wheels ASAP!

Now I just need to figure out what to drop my car on... leaning towards Tanabe springs. Ive had their coilovers in the past and they were awesome...just cant afford to drop that kind of money on coils again though!

Thanks for updating with pics!

Yeah it looks like a nice aggressive drop, but not overly low. I was thinking df210's but they might be too uncomfortable for me... are you on stock shocks with tanabe springs?

nope, im on 350z tanabe gf210 springs and 350z tokico blue shocks. i would look into the 350z gf210 over the g35 df210, they give you the same drop but the spring rates on the gf210 are alot better

Interesting... I could still use 350z gf210's with stock g35 shocks right? shouldnt be an issue crossing over?

Yeah, I know I probably will. But by that point, I may have already sold my car and moved onto an M3 or something else haha.

Thanks again for your help! Car looks dope!

By the way, how much did you pay for just the wheels? PM me if you need to
