I love how any thread that involves varrsotens blows up haha. I've decided to not comment on fake wheels because those who like them don't change their opinions.

Yup! I think I'm gonna go with the RPF1s. Beauty + Performance = Perfection! Quick question:. Would 19x10 +22 clear Brembos? Thanks again!

BMW Owner, stray cat got into the garage, stuck it's head into the center hole... got stuck, fire crew had to cut the rim to save the cat.

That would not have been my plan of action.

HAHA! You're incredibly funny! It's going to suck if your Volks get stolen AGAIN! It's OK though, you **** bills and the 350Z is a Lamborghini to you, so spending approximatively 25% of what your car is worth on wheels without tires, lug nuts, alignment, etc. sounds about right. Dumbass.

You brand ***** guys just can't stfu can you? How many times did everyone say /thread and you keep bashing away. I really think you bash at replicas to make yourself feel better about purchasing wheels 4 times as much when you don't even track them. Good Job kiddo. Keep talking ****, real mature...real mature.

Should clear no problem, RPF1 is designed to clear BBK's, the problem people have with those wheels is while running 17's and trying to get them over a 14 inch BBK. Its not the spokes, its the barrel, 19's have a much larger barrel.

Nope, doesn't work like that. You have to buy Name Brand or you get shitted on. People have Varrs with lower offset, wider tires, and are more flush and get more **** than weak offset, plain silver, curbed and nasty Volks or Rays or any other brand name. It's ok though, everyone has their opinion. I just think it's a little...bleh.

Thats not the point... he clearly can afford both wheels so why steer him into knock off garbage?

Because you shouldn't be looking at Varrs as "knock off *garbage*". If he doesn't track and wants an aggressive fitment, wider fitment, TE design, flat black wheels, wheels with lip, etc. than the Varrs can be what he could do for. Yes they are Cast and are heavy, but compared to stock size for size, they are a lot lighter.

1-2lbs at most between 06-08 wheels and the Varrs are a whole inch bigger and 1.5-2" wider. I know they are heavy and don't have a name, but don't **** on them because of that is what I'm trying to say. There are plenty of heavy *** wheels that cost more and get more respect when they aren't as nice.


Example.....Touring wheels in the 18/19" combo. Used set goes for $1500 and the rear 19x9.5 is close to 30lbs. So...narrower, AND heavier. But they don't get any ****, because they are Ray, of course it must be good if it's expensive and has a brand name right?

Those are factory wheels... theyre supposed to be cost effective guy thats why cars dont come with TE37's, Meister's, LM's or any high end wheel so why compare apples to oranges? I believe Nismo wheels are 18/19's not tourning wheels and why compare a stock wheel to an aftermarket peice? Its really simple... dont read too much into this. He can afford both wheels... do you want wheels that are lighter, stronger, and readily avaliable or do you want an inferior wheel only b/c of the style? I mean cmon man... You can paint a peice of $hit gold... but its still a golden peice of $hit.
