Despite the "weight" differences, like you've mentioned I'm not tracking my car at all. Beautiful wheel and eventually will purchase.

Pothole + Varrstoen BBS Replica = Massive Fail



Honestly, in 2019 there are so many options for quality wheels you have no excuse for settling for Varrdogs

They have a history of shoddy quality, poor fitment for sport brakes, and just bad overall quality

I would just keep looking and take a look at the used marketplace

Who cares what anybody thinks. Get what you want and makes you happy. I have Varrastoens and have no complains. Be a leader not a follower.

Getting some shittyass varrsteons doesn't make you a leader

if you think that looks good, you're entitled to your opinion, it's your car. You're wrong, but you have a right to be wrong

but don't try to spin it like you're special because you couldn't afford real wheels

I have had many experiences with high end rims from Rays, SSR, Racing Harts and Volks on my prior cars they are worth the prices as they can withstand hard impacts from potholes. Right now I have TSW mechanica rotary forged wheels and they have withstand many potholes from the 3 years I have them on the car. They are not as high quality as my prior rims but are light weight and strong.

How often to do you drive your car? Wheels look good it's just their quality that scares me

Leaders run wheels that no one else has IMO

My first wheels ever were TSW's, they could really take a beating

I am a big fan of their new designs and totally agree they are a good option to the higher priced brands

Overrated is not the same as every car. The "rating is legit" Extremely strong forged wheel that is some of the lightest in the business. You see it on everything because it looks good on everything. Played out might be a better word.

I ran Varrstoen, XXRs, and Nismo/Rays when I was stationed in the UK (anyone living there knows they have absolutely TERRIBLE roads), Veilside Andrew, Super Advan, and M2 Hanbai while stationed in Japan, and Forgestar and Nismo/Rays when I was stationed in Germany. I've rarely had issues with any wheel manufacturer (beyond my Forgestars) that weren't self-inflicted.

Buy what you can afford and what makes you happy. We're all a bunch of rando's on the interwebs anyway.
