Hey guys,
Im torn between getting either varrstoen wheels or some used volks/works. Usually the volks or works go for around 2k to 3k, which im down to drop. But the varrstoen's look nice and cost around 1k to 1.5k, depending on if its used or not. What I want to know is, will the resale value of varrstoen be as good as volks? I know used volks, when bought at 2k for example, can be sold again for around that same price. I want to know this because I want to try different styles of wheels, and I don't want to buy varrstoen only to find out the resale value is bad, and I lose money when i resell, but with volks, I can pay 2k, and trade or sell for 2k, and get other volks/works. So im not really losing money with volks. Please let me know, thanks.

Look at it like this... Why would someone pay you 1k for Varrstoens when they can buy them new for that price? If you were to resell them in good condition, you could probably get back $700-900... Trust me, I've seen them go for around those prices BNIB from people who buy them, then regret it and sell them... You can probably get a good ammount of money back if you were to offer them with tires...
...
As for Volks, they are much more expensive brand new, which is why you would see them go for 2k-ish... The original owner paid much more than that I can assure you... Also, you will never know who the original owner of the wheels were to begin with, unless the seller has a reciept... So they can go from one owner to another and never really lose their "used value"(depending on the condition of the wheels)...

alright, so here is an example. Varrstoen wheels brand new without tires are around 1200. If I were to use them for a while, and sell them without tires, how much would I get?
And for volk, I don't know what they are brand new because they are so expensive, so im going to guess is around 2500 new without tires. If I use my volks for a while and decide to sell without tires, how much would I expect to get? Assuming both brands are used cleanly, without rash/scrapes, and they still look new, how much would I get for varrstoen and for volks? The one with the lesser difference would be the one with better resale value, so which one?

Honestly, for some used Varstoen's I wouldn't pay more than $800(in good condition)...
As for te-37's, it will depend... Value can go up or down because of certain factors(sizes/widths, offsets, colors, condition, etc...) Now what you can do is head on over to the market place and see what they are going for... Pay attention to the specs of different wheels... Remember, the condition determines the "vaule" of the wheels as well...
Overall, even with the big difference in price, you will be taking less of a loss with Volks.

When I purchased my Volks I knew that I would be able to get something back for them as long as they're not totally ruined, because of how much I paid for them. I knew there would be others that want my rims used at a lower price even if they were used, because they cannot afford new ones or cannot justify spending so much on rims.
Varrstoen on the other hand, I wouldn't expect to get much back for because you can get them for so cheap already brand new from vendors. In todays market for used car parts it seems like it's nothing but lowballers praying you will accept their awful offer.
If Varrstoen goes out of business somehow and stop making replicas, only then would I think you could sell them back for their original price, or more depending how many people are selling them. (Good example BB5's)

This is ridic... I always consider resale. fak, everything i own is perpetually
on sale. I am always shooting an angle.
Point blank these wheels are beat and make their buyers look silly. Eventually
one of them will fail under pressure and cause damage (to property and (or) people). If you choose to support them by purchasing the wheels, they will continue to produce more of their crap...
This varsstoen garbage is just another replica company (and individuals) that
can't think for themselves and choose to profit off of a design which they had nothing to do with. It's a shame volk can't protect themselves from this ********.
And yes, these wheels will never be worth a ****.

If you are truly planning on selling the wheel down the road, you might as well choose one that will retain its value. How do you know the fake wheels you ride on wont start to deteriorate quickly? Then you're going to be stuck with fake broken wheels that no one wants.
You can purchase whatever wheel you want, but in the long run I cant see any way for a fake wheels to hold any credible value, its just not worth it.
Good luck in your choice. Remember that with wheels, in the long run, you get what you pay for.

I bought the GT-V's brand new, 5 years ago, for 3180 with tires (Toyo T1-S), and sold them without tires for just under $2100.
The OEM Track wheels came on my car when I bought it new in March of 03, and I sold them for $800 with beat down, virtually worthless tires on them.
I hope that gives you an idea of the resale of a couple of these that were mentioned...

WOW 03 track wheels without tires for 800??? The 06-08 wheels only sell for 300-500 lol
I can't speak for the Varrstoen's, but in the past 6 months I sold both a set of Volk GT-V and a set of 03 OEM Track wheels off my car.
