^ since you've chime in.

Do you have anything to say about the shattered LM replicas?

This isn't an attack but it's just the first I've seen that you've responded to a damaged wheel. But I agreed, that wheel looks like it took a sliding impact.

These are two different occasions. Clearly the metal is too thin where the lip meets the face and has created a fragile breaking point.

Hey Blain aren't those the Chikaras BBS reps? Because those things are notorious for cracking =\

They're both varrstoens as said by the owners of the wheels.

I'm not trying to bash the thread here as I did that in the first 5 pages of this thread.

I know you guys buy your **** form the same Chinese manufacture as most other replica companies, but why do you keep selling the LM rep after so many have had severe issues with them? Either redesign them so they aren't so fragile or cut them out of your line. Your TE and CE28 reps have proven to be damn tough, keep your reputation and cut out the weakest link.

These aren't varrstoens, they're chikara (sp?). I may have missed the part of the thread where the manufacturer confirms that the varrstoens and chickaras are identical and manufactured by the same facility. If this has been confirmed please point us to the source/thread/post.

As a side note, the varrstoen LM reps seem plenty strong for cast wheels. I've been abusing them daily on NJ and NYC roads (arguably worst in the country) with no ill effects or bends for the past year. I've also been using them for HPDE events without any issues. Your consistent blanket statements are unnecessary, you're not protecting anyone, you're merely making yourself look like a fool.

Pocono double infield (probably one of the most bumpy tracks on the east coast):

Before you come in here and run your mouth you need to get some backing info to make up an argument for your beloved company.

No, these are Varrstoens. The owners of them both bought them directly from varrstoen, so before you make more false claims, you need to check your facts. BECAUSE chikara never released a 19x10.5 +22 +12 or +/- 0

Linea was the one that used the same factory as chikara


Also, several other replica wheel companies use the 19x9.5/10.5 stagger with the exact same offset ranges, those companies have claimed they get them from the same factory, but you're right in once sense, varrstoen hasn't admitted to anything, just like how they won't answer questions about their weak LM replica




oh no, who will protect us ?

Batman?

Well clearly your salvation is none of my concern since you track a 3500lb underpowered POS on $1000 27lb wheels

See above, you're wrong and ignorant for ignoring hard evidence that these wheels are in fact weak at the conjoining portion of the lip and face.

This here, just makes you look more ignorant as you try to take a shot at the style of ONE of my cars. Please do some research before your try and attack me with shitty uneducated insults from your elitist point of view of the last car around the track.
Read the bold. I think my problem isn't with the fact that Varrstoen sells fakes wheels, it's the people that buy them and still think they're buying quality. Buy some real wheels and then come talk to be about quality and endurance of high end wheels versus that of.... your wheels.

lol at last car around the track and 3500lbs pos. There's a lot more going on with my car than your hellaparked sedan, ie HKS coils, slew of SPL bushings, arms, sways, etc. etc. etc. I won't bother going into detail as I'm not even sure you would understand the concept of shock travel....seems to be lost on the stance crowd.

Are you a teenager? You seem awfully angry...the teenage angst meeter is off the charts in your posts. Must be all the saving and protecting of the G crowd from those evil replica wheels your doing that's getting you so wound up. You should get a sidekick, worked pretty well for batman.
