Default RIMS FOR ISF-vorsteiner

Im selling my 2012 rims and getting the VV-F 101 Vorsteiner rims. I cant seem to find anyone with this setup. What do you guys think of the rims? I think I'm getting the 20's. Thanks

pretty sure they don't have our bolt pattern, and fitment and offset are different too.

These wheels are premade without any bolt pattern, Vorsteiner will then drill the paterns when someone ordered a set. Yes they do offer 114.3 by 5. As far as offsets, they will just machine the back hub to the desired offsets. Many companies like Forgestar are doing it the same way

3 grand+ for flow form forged (started out as cast wheels basically) is way too pricey for what it is. 2k or less is more reasonable. If you are going to spend that kind of money, I would rather get real forged wheels

^Highly agreed. $3k is typically the start of shelling out for forged wheels. But if you like the wheel design, by all means go for it. It does look pretty clean. Also, it depends on what you're planning to do with the car. If you are adamant on these wheels and in 20's, they will most likely be heavier than the stock wheels. Looking forward to seeing these mounted if you do indeed get them!

Subscribed for pictures. Those seem like they'll look great on the F. Good luck!

Those wheels are pretty common in the M community. I think you are mainly paying for the name though. But if you like the design and don't care about the price I would say go for it.

Like mentioned though they are in forged wheel territory for pricing.

Funny, I was just looking for/at a set of these myself. I believe the pics below are also Velgen's (also good looking wheels IMO BTW) but to give you a perspective on another color.


@QCisf - your car looks AMAZING man! Very clean & well done!
