They look great.. just a word of advice with Varrostoens.. they are a bit on the heavy side and if you run a significantly lower offset than OEM, be prepared that your OEM bearings will be worn out a lot quicker.

no biggie. ill just fix it when problems arise. thanks for the advice tho.

Yes i know, these are strikingly similar to the TE's but I have not come across this brand until now.. is Varrstoen another knock-off company who replicates other company's wheels?

if you could find out that'd be amazing.. 1200 for forged TE37 reps sound too good to be true!

to be fair to the Varrstoen wheel, the slight difference between it and the TE37 is that the spokes taper slightly more than the Volk.

but most of their stuff is knockoff:
Varrstoen ES1 = BBS LM (this and the TE37 are probably the most copied wheels in the world)
ES2 = Volk TE37
ES3 = Volk CE28N
ES4 = ? (someone help me with this)
ES5 = SSR Professor MS3
V1 = TE37 in smaller sizes (15/16)
V2 = ? (forgot the name of this one)
V3 = CCW Classic

ES4 = ? Looks like an old BBS or new Enkei Raiijin
V2 = Work Equip 03

just found the wheels .. they are sportline TE.6!
made with the same process as the original volk wheels

JoeBoxer · 03-10-2013, 05:20 AM

Volk dealers that sell these wheels also were told to not carry the whole line or lose their dealer agreement with mackin, nothing wrong with these though i can't even sell them but wouldn't hesitate to put them on my car.

Nope. Deceptively marketed as spun forge (not really forged, still 100% cast wheel). Not the same as forged process Ray's uses.
