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.

though the rep says the concave are the same for both sizes, i found out ITS NOT

18x10.5 +22
Image

18x9.5 +22
Image

obviously the 18x10.5 is more concaved (about .75 to and inch)

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...
