I did some research on these. There $13-1400 bucks. The fact they only come in 19's currently is a bit depressing. And to boot the lip / rim width is trash. I was really expecting atleast up to like a 4.5 inch lip on 11's, bare minimum lol. for another $700 bucks you can get legit Miesters if you shop around with a much better size options / stagger. If these came down about $400, and more options were offered these could be a really great substitute for the real deal, but as it sits, Not a chance in hell.

they've already stated that more sizes are coming..
and also, I already got a shipping quote from them for the 19x9.5/19x11 and it was 1250.00 shipped to florida
also, sonic motor can ship them for 1100.00 so even cheaper, so they're already 300.00 cheaper than what you said, almost 400.00 cheaper

youre not going to find a decent set of meisters for 2k, maybe beat up or weak offsets ones

not hating on forge wheels because trust me ive owned a set they are 1000x better than reps and hold up to any kind of damage 100x better. But id rather put more money into my turbo build at the moment

As for the lip size yes I agree I thought the same exact thing when I opened the box, was actually sad about to the wheels til I put them on the car lol

Would you recommend the 19x11 +15 offset ad the more ideal offset for the rear?

First off, I want to say that I love these wheels and the way they look on you car!
i just bought a different set of 19" wheels, but i'm not digging them that much, and i spent money on new tires, so i think i'm going to go with this set of Varrstoens. but here is my dilema:
My car is a stock body 97 sc300, and my fenders are rolled flat all around, but not pulled. And I don't want to pull them. If i get the same sizes and offsets as the OP, will they fit my car?
Chnk, how is the fitment as far as rubbing and what kind of camber are you running? My tires are 235/35/19 (f) and 275/30/19 (r)
I appreciate any input

Looks great, subscribed! Did you need to max out the OEM camber adjustment?

no really, my fenders are pretty pulled and rolled so +15 would of suited me better, +25 will look great on stock body with a good roll and slight stretch

245/35/19 in the rears, 235/35/19 in the front, i do rub still with the spacer in the rear, front clear easy.

As for camber the natural camber when lowering the car, i did not increase the camber
