Hi guys please help me make my decision between the two:

Varrstoen:

19x9.5 +12
19x10.5 +12

Enkei RPF1:

19x10.5 + 15 all around

Need advice on fitment, and tires please. Thanks in advance.

 

Goals for the car?

 

28lbs vs 21lbs

245/35 front, 275/35 rear, roll the rears. buy the ones that are 21 pounds.

 

If $ was no option then i wouldn't even consider Varstoen's.. Enkei's all the way

 

rpf1............

 

I didn't know they made the RPF1's in 19's.

 

You should decide.... but I would go with varrstoen +/- 0 all around...

 

enkei most aggressive spec for 19 is 10 width +22 offset... that'd be close to 2K new anyways.. very close to the price of used te37's.

 

Would the 19x10 fit the fronts? Any serious rubbing or modifications needed?

 

 

width and offset work hand and hand...





looks like the vardawgs are 4mm more aggressive in front for outer clearance.

 

mostly for street use + occasional track

 

I think it's on whether weight is an issue or not... whats your budget?

 

how about choosing a wheel based on the company background..

let's start with Enkei...

Established in 1950 in Japan (60+ years in operation). Has numerous contracts with OE car manufacturers to produce wheels for production cars. has manufactured wheels that are used in sanctioned races throughout the world (F1, WRC, JGTC..)... utilizes a spinning cast manufacturing process which they call M.A.T. to strengthen cast wheels....


and then let's goto Varrstoen.


Established... ?? uh..
Cast wheels utilizing Volk TE-37 Shape with different offsets...
Made in..? somewhere in Asia i'm assuming..
Prior Racing history.... does beating the Transit bus off the light count?




hmm... i think i'd put my hard earned cash in something that's been proven before...

 

Now they sell a CE28 copy wheel.

 

Then go with Enkei. The 10.5 +15 will be a tight fit in the front, and you'll be relegated to a narrow tire, but it will be lighter and, as Cheston pointed out, have a proven history.

 

go with the rpf1's

 

Man GTFO....


I love my Varrstoens. I've put these things to hell already and they've held up great. GET THE VARRSTOENS...

 

Lets put it this way, you could buy a quality lightweight wheel that looks great and performs better than the stock wheels.
Or, you could be just another ricer loser with fake wheels and a bunch of excuses.

Get something you can be proud of and wont hurt the performance of your car. I cant imagine purchasing something that will degrade the overall performance of your sports car just to look like something that has quality, pretty sad.

 

i saw that. i hope i see someone at a meet with those so we can compare my Limited Edition finish to the Var's finish.
