Okay so im planning on purchasing rims within the first week of January. So far i have about a 1.5k budget on wheels but my great friend owns a tireshop and can get me them for warehouse price...if not cheaper. Im also looking for a mild stretch and flush fitment not too aggressive.

My top 3 choices are:

XXR 526
F: 20" x 9 +15 235/35/r20
R: 20" x 11 +15 265/35/r20





Varrstoen ES 1.1.3
F: 20" x 9 +15 235/35/r20
R: 20" x 11 +15 265/35/r20







Volk SF Winning (Assuming I find these at a good price)
F: 19" x 9.5 235/35/r19 (IDK OFFSET)
R:19" x 10.5 255/35/r19 (IDK OFFSET)





Thanks! If there are an imperfections in sizes or offsets chosen please let me know

 

Volks are the best quality wheel out of your choices but discontinued and hard to find.

Only you can decide what you like best, we can't do that for you.

 

That's news to me, I guess that's why it's a little harder to find, I'm leaning towards varrstoen, I was just wondering if the quality is there for a replica rim. Are those good offsets?

 

I've got Varrstoen ES 1.1.2 (19") and i really like them. They are a better quality replica rim than say XXR from what i've heard, but i have no proof or experience with other rims. As much as i enjoy my rims cause they fit my college budget, its probably worth the wait to get some used Volks or Works if you can find a set. I really like the Work TS1 and Work VS-XX but they are a little spendy used still, but rims/tires are what makes a car in my opinion and you don't want to go half ***. Honestly, just wait and find a good deal on nonreps, or once your "new wheel" excitement wears off you will be wishing you got authentic rims IMHO.

 

I know these are over $1k over your price range, but they got tires too and look great!

How are the varrstoen holding up? Any pics?

And yeah same issue... I'm heading to college next year so I have to conserve my money a little and still be pleased with my ride! I love sf winning but I'd has to save a little . Thanks for the input!

 

Varrstoens are holding up very well. I bought them used off the forum last february and the dont look a day old. Here are some pics...

 

A few more for fun

 

^ I think black tint would have looked much better. JMO

 

Damn Ogee it looks smooth! I think you just helped me make my decision haha! I haven't any info if they are 2 piece though. Can you confirm? Oh btw what are you lowered on?

 

+1 for black tints GR6RR

 

The Varrstoen & XXR are 1 piece. The Volks are 2 piece IIRC.

 

bro the rims are up to u.. volks ain't cheap and they don't make the rim u are looking for any more so if someone is selling it it will cost ya.. the other wheels like nice as well... it's mainly up to u bro

 

Thanks! Yeah the Varrs look like a two piece, but they aren't I agree with the black tint, the side of my car got scratched when roofing fell off my apartment, so when i get the glass replaced i might ask the shop to put darker tint all around. BTW I am lowered on Stance GR+ Coilovers (true style rears), and i love em. They are dialed in halfway for ride firmness, and it feels better than stock ride. After an unfortunate encounter with a suicidal cat, Impul sides and Nismo bumper are in the mail from R1 Autoworks, i'm so excited haha(had to share). You won't be dissapointed in the Varrs, but you will probably want to upgrade eventually when you have the money to "complete the ride right". IMO

 

The suicidal cat had me rolling looking foward to seeing that! And haha damn oh well no two piece for me. But yeah I want something nice for the time being and the varrstoen more then satisfies my taste, but yes eventually I will be moving to something like volk... after a ST or TT kit ofcourse
