Default xxr or varrstoen??

im on a dilema guys. i was ready to pull the trigger on the varrstoen 1.1.2
in 19x9.5 and 19x10.5
http://varrstoen.com/blog/?p=1377
they are bbs lm reps. i know wheel dude sells the corsa but i know varrstoen as a good company. quality wheels and holds up a good relationship with their customers, or at least they did while they were a vendor at my old xrunner forum. if you scroll down on their home page you can see exactly how they look like on a 2is. and love the stance. now heres the deal they are on back order. ive been talking to their reps and they said theres around a 2 month wait for them.

on the other hand before they came out with the 1.1.2's i was looking into the xxr 522 chronium blacks 19x8.5 and 19x10. i can get them from wheelsnext.com for 1600 with falken tires shipped. http://www.wheelsnext.com/wheels-tir...yperblack.html
i liked the way the 522 looked since they came out but was unsure of how they looked in real life untill i saw them on a g35. they looked bad ***. i know another member has them on here on his 2is and they look really good.

so i ask. should i wait for the varrstoen.
price:1200 shipped just for rims. probably get them in 2 or 3 months
or get the xxr's for 1600 shipped with falkens and order them within the next upcoming week?? i really want rims on my baby.

If you save up just a little bit more you can put some non replica wheels on the car which would definitely be a better option! But if you had to choose between those two I would go for varrstoens.

Hands down LM reps in terms of style IMO.
I'm not a fan of XRR 552s.

I'd go with varrestoen, I'm not much a fan of that style xxr. But I know what you mean, waiting is a bizatch.
