Varrstoen ES3 Wheels

Whats up guys I was lookin into the xxr 530 and 527 but I rather spend more money for a better quality rim and not have the headache with the poke and curbs and shit so I was lookin at the Varrstoen ES3 Wheels in hyper black (my car is nhbp) I was lookin at hyper silver but the hyper black doesn't look to bad either and I wanna know what specs would be best. I wanna get the flush look nothing too crazy. im lowered on tein flex z, about no wheel gap nothing to crazy. I also have a camber kit for the rear. what about fender rolling? would I need that with these rims.

also what tires would I be able to run on them.

any input or pics is perfect.

You can start here: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-t...d-pics-577276/

There's a few guys here (mainly cruising around in the TSX sub forum) that are sensitive about giving away wheel specs but you should take a look at the link above.

it simply isnt just buy new wheels and they will fit.
you will need to figure out the perfect set up according to your goals...which you found out that each wheel brand will be different. same thing goes for the ES3's

I find the perfect set up for me is 18x9.5 +22

visual echoes perfect specs for the TL is 18x9.5 +35

both of our setups are FLUSH because we play with; tires, height, camber and fender roll and pull
this is what you should do....
PLAY until your heart is content.

My friend ran the ES3 on his - he went with 19 x 9.5" +22 front with 215/35 and 19" x 10.5 +22 rear with 235/35 - his car is the ABP (Abyss blue pearl) - but 9.5" +22 seems to be flush as the crab said I wouldn't such small tires - but that was his build.

but then you dont understand....as EACH starting point is different. lol

instead of talking about it, put in work and find out what works for YOU.

I LOVE BEEFY tires, I FUCKING HATE stretched tires...do you see my point? i enjoy race car looks. so, i modeled my car after a race car, with BIG FAT STICKY TIRES.
i played with fender rolling, fender pulling, and tire sizes....
WHICH is exactly what you need to do... play with tire sizes, play with camber, play with ride height, play with fenders.
work or massage or manipulate until you have the look you are going for

another point to consider; IT took me 5 years to finally pull the trigger on wheels.
it's a long process of knowing what you want.

right now, OP...if you rush..YOU WILL REGRET.
keep calm and study more

Yeah i finally realized this isnt as easy of process as i thought. Ive def been lookin through out the whole forum and its gona take a while.

first i wanted the xxr 530/527, then the es3 and now im lookin at the es2. Its gonna be a long process from wheel type to color..(i think i like machine finished/hyper silver on the nhbp)

i wanna do this 100% right the first time then regret.

Thanks for ur help

no problem.
the hardest part is figuring out how aggressive you want the specs to be...
with camber you can always pull in the wheel to be flush...
but your biggest choice will be figuring out if you want weak specs to aggressive...or somewhere in the middle.

for the race car crowd, somewhere in the middle proves to be around 9.5 inch wide and offsets of your choosing.
my offsets are WAY more aggressive than Visual Echoes, as I have brembo brakes that the wheel needed to clear
but with camber, the wheel pulls in to be flush.
