Varrstoens
 

Does anyone with 370z really rock the te37 reps bc I really like them but due to it being reps I feel like they dont keep up to the price of what we buy our cars for.
Anyways being a full time student and worker working for this car I really want to make moves on my car and I got a good deal for some varrstoen te37 reps with tires. And that's what I can afford for a good set of wheels to work my way to get how I want my car to look like.:ughdance:

Look, a lot of people hate on replicas, IMO, do whatever makes you happy, I wouldn't track on replicas though

^^ I agree on what DEpointfiveO says about the rep wheels but if you're not tracking and that's what you can do for now, why not. You will be happy with it and you can always sell down the road when you're ready for a change. I say go for it. during the Holidays, they were selling the TE37 reps for 900 out the door. I was so tempted until reality set in.

Personally, I'm running on my stock Rays until I can decide on what wheels I want and what I can afford.

I'm doing the ES5s on my Z when I get it. Spent enough on mods on my Camaro. I love the actual BBS wheels they copied but I am not to drop a 5k on wheels for a used 25k car that's my DD. Get what you want and forget what people say.

My buddy has a set of the Varrstoen TE37 replicas on his 350z that he painted white and they look amazing. A lot of people don't even realize that they are replicas cause the white paint throws them off so much in amazement lol.

I have te37 replicas from varrstoen I always get compliments on and I love the look but I could not afford real volks I've never had an issue with them.

Lol at haters... Replics are a great way to spice up your Z without dropping the required 5K+ on show quality wheels... That being said, My daily driver looks like it does now because I took that extra $$$ and put it towards my other mods... Haters gunna Hate.

I too am interested in this. I like the new black chrome wheels they have out. I just am worried about the strength of these. I dont hit pot holes but I drive my car like I stole it.

Here are my varrstoens in black chromium

I dont know who came on here and said "OMG these replica wheels are such garbage that you cant drive your car on them."

That entirly not true. I have been weekend drifting on these reps and hauling a$$ and driving like I stole it for 2 years now.... ZERO PROBLEMS.

Like I previously said, Haters gunna hate cus there Authentic TE37's cost 3+ times more... Daily driving and the occassional messing around these will be just fine.

BTW, VERY FEW actually drift/track 5K wheels anyways...

This is all accurate. I did some more asking around myself and alot of miata guys all track/drift with reps and not the real deal. Personally I dont blame them. I think I may just pull the trigger on those black chrome 2.2.2's that just came out.

I agree completely, I honestly think the "fear" of replicas comes from pics on the Internet of broken wheels... They just don't tell you that the guy hit a curb at 85MPH, and ANY wheel would break, yeah, real ones would bend, but bent to hell vs broken is the same to me

:iagree: Neither will roll when its said and done. However, the reps you can buy a whole new set for what it would cost to re-buy that 1 real rim.

Volk is over rated. Replicas for Ftw!

Just take my advice, unless your going to legit car shows trying to win awards and get reactions outta people there is really no reason to NOT buy reps... Most of those situations where there is a busted wheel and everybody is freaking out is just bashing cus there stuff got messed up and its gunna cost serious $$$ to replace of fix.

Think...Out of those Dozens of wheels which failed, usually because of retarded circumstances; how many thousands of sets of the same wheel work without fail....for years...

Ill rock replicas just so I can make fun of the guys who have the real thing.Escpecially when my car looks better than theirs :P

I've never understood the hating on reps, like they want me to apologize for not being filthy rich like them. Screw that. As long as you're not paying $400 for a brand new set of wheels, the quality should be fine. Just don't jump your car like the dukes of hazard at 125mph and you'll be fine.


Sent from my iPizzle using magic and new-fangled science stuff

I am neutral on this but I gotta say...Sometimes i see ppl rocking the real thing, only to see owner had opted for the cheapest tire option available (because of tire stretch or camber/toe wear or just flat out don't care). That's just laughable.

Any of u guys running 18" 2.2.2? Want to know will it clear sport brakes

Varrstoens FTW

Here they are mine with 20mm spacers on the rear

Varrstoen makes some awesome looking wheels. I might buy some myself one day if I get tired of the sport Rays. People who hate on replicas without thinking about it are pretty shallow. The reality is this; your average potential-wheel-consumer really only cares about the look and style of the wheel, so why would they pay thousands more just because of better construction? That being said, forged wheels could save your life when you don't see that pothole one day on the highway. It's happened to people on this forum with sport Rays, and they will tell you; if it wasn't for the quality of the forged wheel, it could have been the end. I have seen Varrstoen wheels seperated into pieces on other forums, but those are extreme cases.

Bottom line: those Varrstoen wheels are beautiful, well-priced and look perfect on the 370Z. Buy them.

For a +12 rear and +22 front what spacers do I need for a flush fitment? I am getting these Varrstoen

http://www.varrstoen.my/wp-content/u...09/ES5_001.png

Nice wheels Taylor ...I got 18x9.5 +22 up front and there pretty flush.

What are the numbers on those wheels/tires! soooo sexy!

What wheel widths? +22 9.5" for the front is flush. Im at +20 and I poke a bit. If rears are at 10.5" then +12 is close to flush depending on tire size. I went with a 5mm spacer on the rear and its perfect flsuh.

10.5 rear... so I won't need any spacers you think? What offset is the rears on yours?

Yeah I run a 9.5 +22 offset w a 20mm in the rear and sits nicely now I just need to wait for my new nitto rear tire to come.

Nope. My wheel specs are 18x9.5 +35 with a 15mm spacer so an effective offset of +20 for the front. My rears are 18x10.5 +12 also but I have a 5mm spacer at the moment making it +7. definitely doesn't need it but it makes it perfect flush. I'll be taking off once I change my tire sizes to a 305.

Ok Thanks for the help :)

There are literally 3 pages of threads with 370z's and Varrstoens if you did a simple search, was this thread really necessary?

TE37 Replica's
 

Awesome ride! May I ask what size, offset, and tires you are currently running? Do you hav the sports package with the Akebono BBK's? Your car has a great stance!!!!!!!!!!! Nice job!

19x9.5 +22 front, pokes a bit. 19x10.5 +12 with a 5mm spacer is perfect in the rear. Yes I have the Sport brakes.255x35 front 295x40 rear

Hey guys Im looking at these wheels, I need to know if they would be ok for a once a year trackday?:tiphat:

Thats like asking me if its going to rain eventually.... It might be today, might be a month from now... Id say yes based on my experiences since I drive my Z like its stolen... But you never know. Any wheel will fail under the right circumstances.

I'd hope these wheels could handle the occasional track day. I know they are cheap, but they aren't made of plastic.

They are replicas yes......The big thing is they CANNOT handle a major impact. My friend AutoX's on his Varrstoeons in a 350z and has done so on well over 10 events over the past year and a half and DD's his car. No issues. That being said, AutoX courses are also small and don't achieve very high speeds as true road courses do. AutoX, i dont think they are a problem. True road racing then yes, I would be concerned.

I plan on maybe one or two track days with my Z... I mostly do autocross anyways. I will be using my future pro-touring 1969 Camaro for the track :driving:

The only problem I have with replicas is durability. Three of my friends have the varrstoen te37 reps and all three have bent one of their rims.

Doing what though? Hit a pothole/curb? That will bend or damage any wheel. If it's forged, yeah, a bit less, but you'll still need to put some work in to undo it

Agreed. But the reps bend A LOT easier than forged wheels. Most of us will hit a pothole sometimes while driving our cars. We cant avoid them all, with that being said, forged wheels will roll over without hurt(most cases). What it would take to bend a real set of TE's, would have a far more dramatic effect on the reps. Like I said, only problem I have is durability. The wheels are still gorgeous.
