VMS or VMR make some that look very similar to the Vars, right?
I don't hate the Vossens, but they're probably heavier and more expensive.

Can't go wrong either way!

Seems like almost everyone likes the Varrstoen better.
Other wheels that I have in mind is the 19s XXR 530 or VMR V810

Haha true, but they're just so cheap for its nice looks plus they got 19s now. I'm still tempted to get the Vossen CV4 or VMR V810 or Varrstoen ES 4
I'm just trying to get a different style set of wheels from my OEM waffles for the summer

At one point in my wheel evolution I had a set of Varrstoens. They are only around $1,100 total for 19's. Plus they held up really well for the 15 months or so I had them on the car.

I did this same search and comparison a few months back and looks like we have similar tastes. However if I remember correctly the v810 only comes in the BMW lug specs. I got the avant garde m359 wheels but got them redrilled from BMW specs to 3G specs and LOTS of tire and wheels places would not install modified lug patterns. It turned out to be a major PITA, luckily my set didn't clear brembos and since they guaranteed it would I got a full refund.

Just a heads up about getting a different lug pattern.

Keep in mind that vossens are very over priced for a non forged, cast wheel. They are gonna cost you $2000 and bend on the seam in your driveway.

I believe v810 comes in 5x114.3, at least that's what it says on the website. But Yea I wasn't planning on to get a different lug pattern, I know it's def gona be a PITA. I know for sure that the v708 only has the 5x120 pattern, so that's already off my list lol but thanks for the heads up man!

Yea that's true they are expensive, that's why I had a lot of other options other than the Vossen I wanted

Have you talked to anyone about a 114.3 bolt pattern for the v810? I've yet to find a website selling that wheel in that lug pattern

Vossens look really good, if they were bronze they would look great on a white car imo

To be honest, no lol, but I did contact the website and hopefully they have some in stock, cause Im leaning towards that or the varrstoens now, but yea I didn't find a website selling the wheel with the bolt pattern either

I believe they only have the machined gun face silver and gunmetal color for that wheel, no bronze lol

The wheel itself is actually nice but I guess it doesn't look as good on the TLs.
But definitely compliments this S5 really well

WDP TL's are so delicious it's not even funny.

IMO, out of all these 3 are your better options.

Varrstoen ES 4 19's

VMR 708

or G37

I'd go the first picture all day. Varrstoens make a nice wheel for an affordable price. We are direct with VMR, Varrstoen and Vossen, so if you have any questions please feel free to PM me.

I still say the first ones. The v708s look pretty good too though. Check out forgestarF14s. Similar to the 708s

I'd say Varrstoen cuz they just look better. Quality is probably the same as Vossen, but you don't pay as much
