Getting ready for wheels but can't decide between the varsttoen (fake, i know, i know) or the RPF1s. I like how they both look.
Which would you prefer based ONLY ON APPEARANCE?


Hope Sodero doesn't mind me using his photos:

I like the color combo with the Varsttoens, but the RPF1s are nice. What color are you planning on doing?

With a brickyard, you want lighter colored wheels. RPF1 hands down.

Silver
Lightweight
Real
Cheaper? lol

Doesn't matter if the varrstoen are fake they look better than those ugly RPF1s. I vote varrstoen. Maybe if they were darker it would change my mind. Don't know.

1. i'm going to buy cheap chinese garbage and put it on my beloved 350z.

2. i'm going to buy a proven, trusted wheel from a company that has been manufacturing
wheels for decades and put it on my beloved 350z.

Let's think about both of these statements for a moment?

ahhhhhhhhhhh. that feels better.

Not a fan of the dark wheels, the brickyard needs light colored wheels to set it off.So i vote RPF1. Then you have the craptastic china wheel VS a strong, light, performance wheel , i have to vote RPF1 again.

from what i understand, the rpf1 are the best over bang for the buck for the car... a very good wheel.

You can do no wrong with it.

Varrs... eh, passing fad I say. Nothing bad, but still.. the rpf1s are just classic bro.

OP says this...

So your statement is based on quality.

ok, made up my mind, i'm getting the RPF1s.

Right now, sitting on stock suspension.
I plan on getting the RPF1s in
19x9.5 +22
19x10 +22

I already went ahead and bought the rear tires in 275/35/19.
Thought about going 245/35 in the fronts but If I go 255/35 instead, will I rub/need to pull/roll my fenders?
