Need some opinions

e92m3_jesse · 06-04-2015, 05:49 PM

I was searching for new wheels and came across these. Varrstoen ES2 and price is within my range (yes I am cheap) but need to hear some opinions if possible. I am aware they are cast aluminum but keep in mind, I do not track whatsoever and rarely drive the M like it should be driven. My main concern is the moon like surface that is NYC roads.

Currently running on OEM 220 powder coated matte black on ILB.

thanks for your input

Varrstoen is a pretty reputable brand for replica wheels, and I've tracked a set on another car in the past. I haven't had any issues with them, but then again, I'm unfamiliar with how bad the roads are over in NYC.

If you're not worried about weight for the track then go for it. Any wheel will crack if you hit it hard enough.

at least you are being honest with yourself. Unlike the hundreds of keyboard desk racers on this forum that insists that you must buy magnesium, cold forged, triple filtered, rocky mountain fresh, Bavarian built wheels, custom painted and overnighted via DHL.

Buy what fits your tastes and budget.

Those look pretty nice! What if you got them in 18" sizes to save the weight and give you more tire to protect the wheels from NYC roads?

hmmmm you onto something. I will consider that option as well.

Flying Ace · 06-04-2015, 09:48 PM

18's in the TE37 style definitely looks better on a M3.

Then there's me. I love hookers in my trunk for extra rear traction.

Yeah, good to see Amir back. Hope his car is doing well.

Good to see he didn't die from his fast, or his 3 wives didn't murder him for onboarding 4th wife.

I suppose that's why he bought a E90

Here's another 18 inch TE37
