While I like all 3 cars, for this thread, the Z needs a bit more loaw and the rx-7 needs spacers. But, all three cars are fresh. Got any more pics of the Z? Looks good. Are those Vars?

alright I've been doing some research for a while now and i think i have found a wheel/tire combo that I'm willing to drop some cash on:

VARRSTOEN ES 1.1.1
Front- 19x9.5 +12
Falken FK 452
215/35R-19XL

Rear- 19x11.0 +0
Falken FK 452
245/35R-19XL

dose this sound good or am i way off? and mind you this will be my first try at this and i DONT want to have a do-over once i buy something.....so, comments or concerns?

Unless you plan on running a 30mm spacer in the front, get a wider tire. Same for the rear, if you don't plan on using spacers put some 265s back there. Otherwise you will have stretched tires for no reason.

yeah that does sound safer....but the 265's are more expensive and id have only have to buy the spacers once....but ive also been reading about how bad spacers are....what a predicament, and i thought i had it all figured out lol oh well i guess that what this forum is for

and anyways i have a whole month before im back in the US so i got a bit of time to decide....might even find rims i like better for a lower price (doubt it tho)

If you dont want a do-over I recommend name brand wheels. Just my opinion though...

If you have to ask, then you'll probably just never understand. So go ahead and buy the Varrstoens and save the good wheels for the rest of us

Dude, don't worry about hood pins being ricer when your about to fake the funk.
Sofa king do your thang, some have said my seibon cf hood and TS rear diffuser is ricer. ** shrugs**


But PLEASE!! Only authentic wheels in this thread please, leave the varstoens in the varstoens page. I can't stress enough that it annoys the **** out of me not coming into this page for a few weeks, then when clicking this page and seeing less n less aggressive fitment.


What is the world coming to..........SMH lol

Sorry I haven't had my fix today, kinda moody

Yes please! If you are considering buying Varrstoen or XXR and want to jump into this thread, PLEASE DON'T, keep that garbage off the net. I'm sick of seeing fake wheels and flagrant copies of wheels. EVEN at shows.. SMH

BBS-RS 17x9/11 +18/+23
swapping to smething square and more aggressive sometime.. no one makes aggresssive 17's...

My baby (Nina Beckinsale aka Nina) went into the body shop mid January for body work and fresh coat of paint

a few pictures before it went in..






the rears were pulled 25mm to custom fit my rear SSRs. I love the work they did cause it looks exactly what i wanted, OEM look. no flare, no cracks, no waves.



- i picked up a few parts during the time-




My family being supported of my expensive hobby, sitting on my new seats


now the recent pictures...

took off the cf mirrors and went back to OEM btw if nobody doesnt notices it, this is when i first got her from the shop, a little dirty






Dont have many pictures yet cause i still have to repowder coat my wheels, (still undecided which color, i might keep the white, or maybe go gray or dark gray ) been real busy with school.


I have a question about calculating offsets. My rear wheels are 19x12 with a 6.5'' rear lip. Ive been told the center of the wheel is +0, and if my math is right, and its real basic arithmetic, im negative 1/2" which is equivalent to -12.5mm.

please correct me if im wrong, been trying to figure out my offsets.

ANYWAYS SORRY FOR THE PICTURE BOMB, THAT SEEMS TO BE MY STYLE WHEN I POST HERE LOL
