I agree, the color choice doesnt quite sit right, but the rims are sick. What are the rim and tire specs if you don't mind me asking? i'm ready to pull the trigger on a set of rims, but the color choice has me on pause. Nice car btw.

thanks for the pics. just wanted to see them from different angles. If you don't like the color, you can always powdercoat them a different color

yea, i thought of powder coating but i dont know if its worth it. plus if its not done right, the finish wont last as long and the strength of the wheel is compromised. i dont even know what color to powdercoat it. back to square one.

A couple of pics after the airrex install

Couldn't fully air out due to the offset being to low.


Ended up putting my stocks back on and almost fully aired out.



VARRSTOEN RIMS ARE FOR SALE.
