varrstoen

Postby seanography » Wed Jul 17, 2013 8:49 pm

hey guys,

(members with the 2007-2009 gen 4 models) What varrstoen wheels would you go for?

I like both of these styles but the thing is that Varrstoen Australia website does not have 5x100 PCD for ES111. It is an extra $200-$300 (through ebay - aspecwheels) to ship here.
On the other hand, Varrstoen website has the ES221 in the 5x100 PCD and it is $1100 for the set.

Here are the pictures of the wheels:

Hope you don't have Brembo's if you get any 'mesh' rims like that.

nope, no brembos. I'm leaning towards the es221 because i want gloss white wheels but a guy's legacy on the american forum keeps making me swap decisions lol

9.5 +34 shouldnt be that hard!!
+20 onwards is quite agressive for liberties

It would be damn near impossible to fit that rim on a liberty. I dont think you understand wheel fitment at all...

a 8.5 +35 is aggressive on the liberty's, 9.5 would be plain stupid.
Its not just about the offset... rim width factors into it aswell.
