any wheel width past 8" with an offset of +11 will not fit without fender modifications.

as far as the discussion about authentic volk racing TE37's vs. varrstoen 2.2.2 (TE replicas)...

no comment.

(because i have nothing good to say about replica wheels).

There is no distinct difference in LOOKS between the two wheels aside from the wheel caps. In this community you're going to have a lot of haters on replica wheels which I fully agree. However, like what lot of us members have said in the past, it's your car and your money so who cares what others think. BUT, keep in mind, aside from looks, there is a difference in quality of the wheels... Replica body kits is another story but personally i wouldn't feel safe having my entire car driving and depend on replica wheels especially if it's DD.. <-- This is just my opinion. A lot of members do run on replicas for years and had great experience with them though. So in the end, spend a little more time doing your research of exactly what you want that will make you have no regrets .

Visually, only wheel nuts will be able to tell the differences. They are a little bit here and there. (Letter stamped on the rim, Volk Stickers, the shape of spoke, color, finish etc..)

just asking a very simple question about the VISUALS of it your honestly making it more then it really is bro. im not talking about the built quality or how they are knock offs...................


just seeing if they look identical , (spoke stick out the same, same spokes and w/e)


but yeah since the offset is 11+, would it need to have the fender rolled?

^^^^^ he was just joking with you partner. I myself personally don't care if people run rep rims. If it saves you money and you are happy go for it. But +11 even with rolled fenders is ultra pushing it . Especially if you are lowered. Fender roll would be a must and you still might have some issues. And some poke
