Default Vorsteiner VFF101 Rims installed!

Hey guys! I just installed the V-FF101 Vorsteiner rims after waiting for months! I chose the gloss black finish and 20inch ones, I was wondering what do you guys think? I'll attack pictures but I'll have clearer ones when I take the car out in the sun! I live in Boston and we have a huge snowstorm from today till tomorrow night. Personally I really liked how the rims came out but I may be a bit biased LOL! Thanks

I think the graphite finish they have wouldve looked really good on your car, and 19s.. personal preference. Need better pictures NOW.

These are flow formed and shipped blank just like yours. You give them offsets and bold patern and they grind and drill to specs. Just like Forgedstar

Are they still just DPE wheels that are rebadged Vorsteiner? The 1st Vorsteiner wheels were exactly that. OP you are brave to drive with suck skinny sidewalls.

But they cater solely to the Euro market.. pre-speced wheels don't even specify 114.3x5 bolt pattern as an option for most of their wheels. I don't even see an option for any non-euro cars on their website.

My friend brings the Vorsteiner Lamborghini Aventador to car meets, I'll ask him about it next time to see if they are branching out.

For the most part yes and before they introduced the cheaper line of Flow Formed. Now their Flow Form are offered in a wide range of 5 lugs bolt. Need4Speed offers VFF 101 in 114.3. I actually researched the OP's old thread when he mentioned about the wheels too. I have actually seen a set of their flow formed wheels at 714 tires in 114.3. The box even states that "made in China" just like how all of the flow formed wheels are. Shipped blank to the their respected companies and then they have the wheels cnc the bolt patern and rear back spacing to the desired offsets. It is just better business, easier to cater to everyone's needs. My buddy's company "Intro wheels" does this for Forgedstar. I actually got a tour of the company and saw a bunch of blank Forgedstar waiting to be CNC. They also cut many other companies 2 and 3 pieces wheels

Even the FRS and BRZ are catered to apparently
