I know what you mean, i would have too, but the extra mm's of aggressive versus fender hassels didnt make me side with more aggressive. The rears actually stick out a mm or two, the fronts are barely not-flush, but with how low i am, i can still barely make it up my driveway and into my garage at home.

If it wasnt my daily, it would be a lot crazier. haha

Search the net. Google and yahoo are your friends.
Sorry man these are not Meisters, the center isn't even close to Meisters. I know my wheels, but funny when people try to school me on it. I think you might want to use Google so you can actually learn about wheels more. My wheels are Work Equip Anhelos, go ahead and search it. An Equip center cap wouldn't even fit on Meisters lol. I guess I will post pics so you can see how much different my Equips are than Meisters.

Again these are my Work Equip Anhelos so you can see again.



These are Work Meisters, which I do not have. The center is not the same at all, the lugs are completely exposed and its all open. I doubt an Equip center cap would even fit. And it would look dumb if someone did try and put them on a Meister.



Again maybe you should be doing the research on older Work wheels. I know what I buy and know what I have. Here is a link of images for you so you know next time..

I stand corrected. Never ever heard of the Anhelos. They aren't on the Work website. I've been reading about Work wheels since 2000 and never heard of these. They look just like Meisters to me. I don't see much of a difference. Either way, the wheels are nice and look sweet on your car.

so I am ready to order some Varianza t1S I just want to make sure I pick the correct offset that I will be happy with, with such a big purchase.
I believe I want 19x8.5 +32 19x9.5 +35 just based on the pics that i have come across in this thread. But i have never seen that offset in person. Would like some opinions on this offset. would you change one or the other? with they both be flush with this offset?
Also is +32, and +35 even noticeably different than say +22 and +25 since there is only one cm difference? thanks!

You chose the right spec believe me.

I have 19x8.5 +35 19x9.5 +36.

The rear is perfect for me no poke out nor sink in.

On my front, even though it is not flush enough but it started to rub very slightly at the ride height of an inch lowered from stock. My Opinion is 19x8.5 +35 is on the verge of fender mod/no mod territory. Had I gone for higher offset +36,37,38,39, I wouldn't rub at all. But it will be even more sunk in than +35. It is just a compromise between look and rub after all.

I think +30 should be perfect in terms of look but you will start to experience more rubbing and thus more fender modification should be required. So 19X8.5 +32 should be about just right. Your will need a heat gun to push some areas on your front fender liners. No rear fender modification require with 9.5 +36 (or +35, if 1 millimeter matters)

My advice/comment is based on assumption that you are not after that Hella Flush trend. This spec will give you a kind of Sport Euro look (Benz AMG Version, BMW M Sport, Audi S-Line). Natural flush, without crazy negative camber to make it flush--if you understand what I mean.
