Haha! Nah, for realz! I've been to their blog a few times in the past week and I know what their boxes look like now!

But thank you for the lip/concavity comparison pics! I had been wondering if the 18x10.5+22's could possibly have as much lip as the 18x10.5+12's... Now I see that they most likely don't. Still very sexy though.

I surprised you didn't have Varrstoen powdercoat them for you... I'd love if they started offering a finish similar to that TE37-SL pic you posted or similar to Rota's Hyper Black. But Varrstoen's Shining Gold finished makes my pants tight too...

I'd go with the 245 fronts and 265 rears...

i know i was kidding

varrstoen charges extra for any other colors besides flat black (which is what i got)
reasons why i didn't have it powdered coated.

i asked the rep if the lips were different from the 18's and he said they were all the same as well as the concave (which isn't)
but between the 9.5 and 10.5 width, the lips are the same

i was leaning towards the +12 but again, the rep says concave and lips are the same just +12 sticks out 10mm more

[Chattzx]

they run for about $1,000 depending on size.

[randOmcLamsheLL]

holy crap!, 4 18'' sub woofers! wow, I'm jealous.

now what in gods name would he be doing with FOUR 18 inch subs?

[grk nickafis]

just so everyone isn't curious what they look like...
pictures from varrstoen's site can be hard to read since it could be of different sizes...
i believe the ones on their site are 19"

anyhow, i got the 18's and now is showing you the ACTUAL wheel itself.

more pics




18x9.5 lip


18x10.5 lip


both lips are the same

Mannn ur gunna scratch them putting them like that. haha Sick rims tho. those are my dream rims

[simmode1]

265 rear w/ +22 offset will rub

Nothing a roll, some negative camber or a tiny pull won't fix.

I can't wait to see them on. When are you planning to put them on the car?

[ztommyx]

^^ not sure. hoepfully soon. no money atm

[Phideaux]

Tommy once you get these on your car i would like to inspect these in person haha

and....what are you doing with the Gram lights?

oh and heres a better comparison from fake to real since these are flat black as well...i just happen to see this up at the U toady!

I think his are a little bigger then your varrstoen's like 19x10 front 19x11 in back...

[AchilleZ32]

I'd like to score a set of these in white for my car. From what i've been reading these wheels are excellent knockoffs for the money.


My Favorite Z atm

Click the 'Shop online' link or search Google for a Varrstoen Groupbuy thread...

Oh look at what Varrstoen was nice enough to post up! Comparison photos of 18x10.5+22 vs 18x10.5+15 vs 18x10.5+0!
http://varrstoen.com/blog/?p=943

So it's definitely only the 19's that have the fatter lips.

[AchilleZ32]

No, because then there will be 3, and I can't have that.

And Tommy, I knew those where Grids but they all look so similar and I needed an excuse to post that picture

[ArticDragon192]

Mmm, fake TEs, lol. 255/ 265 stagger woould be legit though. Just a roll and some camber since the offset isn't in the teens.
BTW, for these kind of cast one piece wheels, wheel face design doesn't change much if at all due to offset. All they do is make the backpad thicker to make the offset lower. So a +12 offset will look exactly like a +22 offset. However, usually between widths, the face design will vary.

[ztommyx]

^^ yup. correct.
