Default Varrstoèn Rims.

Hello everyone hope all is okay.. I have a question about these rims. Anyone in here riding with these shoes on? Varrstoèn ES221 Matte black. I like them because they are affordable and i like that they have them in 18inch because i want more tire width since im in NY and work in the Bronx. I also was wondering what sizes could i get ? 18x9 Front 18x10.5 rear? I want a 245/40/18 front and 285/35/18 rear setup please let me know! Thank u!!! (Im stock suspension)

They're TE37 replicas. Varrstoen also makes replica BBS rims http://varrstoen.com/products/es-1/ and others.

Looks good and half the price but they are cast iron so if you hit a pothole nice it'll probably crack very easily.

Ive known of them for a while now. They were quite popular back when i had my 350z. Looks wise they look fine as they are replicas of the volks, BUT i am not sure about their durability. You want good quality stuff on the F's, I would say pass

man those would make perfect track wheels for me. I just want something cheap and wide I can beat the ish out of on the track. I think its a bit hard on the oem tires . Thanks for the heads up. Id say get what you want to make you happy but if you live in the NE you guys have pot canyons not pot holes so make sure those sidewalls are thick. If they dent they are dirt cheap as well.

Cast aluminum isn't nearly as strong as forged, but at the same time its affordable.

I say go for it, to each his own.

You guys forget the ISF is now on its 7th year of production; it's becoming an affordable vehicle.
