Miro 398 vs Rota Grid vs Varrstoen es2

Which is the best te37/6 spoke rep that won't break the bank but look good.

I know these are reps. I have no problem running reps for street. I haven't tracked yet so I'm not "oh bro just go get RPF1's!" I'm not a high budget guy either to buy $900 per wheel volks. Also I'd worry about scratching them/vandalism.

I'm looking for a 18x9.5 wheels preferably squared, not staggered.

I know rota's quality has "gotten better" over the years but I don't like how... how do I put this... exagerated the spokes are.

My other two options would be Miro 398 or varrstoen es2's.

Any thoughts between the wheels of build quality/price etc.?

Miro 398

Varrstoen ES2:

They're probably all made in the same place. Pick the one that will be cheapest with shipping and tax with the best return policy (just in case) and shoot from there.

I had the 18x9.5 Miros. I liked them, I got them for buy three get one free so it was like ~$850 shipped to my door. A bit on the heavy side though if you're worried about that type of stuff

If you like the concave look, the Enkei Kojin is awesome. It is a 5 spoke, not a 6, but looks great on our cars. I have 18x8 front (flat face) and 18x9.5 rear (concave).



Not too heavy either, around 19-20lbs.
