I see on some people really think the Varrstoen wheels are a bad choice. I think the ES 2.2.1 wheels look great. But has anyone had a bad experience with these wheels in regards to cracking, breaking, finish or paint going bad, etc.?

 

I've had my es 2.2.1 for about 6 months now and I'm always parked outside because of my dad -__- but nothing bad happens to them

 

curious on the weight of the 20s as well.. not sure if i want to order the 20s or not, i have a spare set of tires for 20s... but i think 1.1.2 at 19x11 and zero offset will look sick w a giant spacer on my ride.

 

I've heard the finish on these wheels suck.

 

Which is perfect because I'm going to rattlecan mine brass... its like the same color as work emotions bronze..fawkin siiiick made.

 

I would have to disagree. My 2.2.1 finish is darn perfect if I say so myself.

 

Compared to what? I'm not hating on you but understand that the finish on Varrs are no where near that of a Volk. I had an original set of Spoon SW388's after I was running a set of Rota Slips and the difference was huge. I thought my Slips were awesome until I compared the two. The finishes have been discussed here and how bad some of them are.

 

Well I have the matte black finish which is what I was looking for because I wrapped my door handles matte black too. they match perfectly. But compared to other reps these AMD pretty good. I'm trying to get my hands on some works s1r's though

 

Does anyone know the weight of the ES 2.2.1 in 18x9.5 size?

 

You've already asked that question and if your looking at Varrs, weight isn't that important to you.

 

i dont know about the finish, i sandblasted mine first thing and put the finish i wanted on them. by which i mean not out of a can.

 

 

OK?

 

Weights from what I recall are in the low 20's for the 18" and maybe a pound or two more for the 19"

 

Weight:
18×8.0 = 19.8416036 lbs.
18×9.0 = 20.5911753 lbs.

so the 9.5 should be a lil more than the 9.0 i guess

 

i dont think people have had problems with cracking or finish unless its the users fault, ex: driving recklessly or accidents, or spraying wheels with harsh chemicals which can cause problems to the finish. a lot of people have them for a reason, budget wheels and they look good for the money.

 

rattle can ( done correctly) will be more than fine for what i have planned..
and i like to think that what i plan....ahem.. is usually done pretty well.

I will attest to the fact that although the Varrstoen finish may be "nice".. its not the jewlery like perfection of a high end wheel...

but...

i dont want or need or really even like that fancy of a wheel.. so these will be just fine n dandy.

schweet.. now just get the damned things in stock already!

 

they had problems with a couple of the finishes... the reason people have them is because they're cheap and not for any other reason.

 

^^ I will agree w this.
Price along w acceptable compromise equals these as a wheel choice.

 

Acceptance is the first step...Varrs aren't going anywhere.
