ok out of my own stupidity a guy screwed me out on the set of varrstoen 19's i bought. they are actually for BMW's...i'm trying to sell them also and thinking about wheel adapaters so i can just slap them on my 3rd gen TL. would you recommend wheel adapters or not. i need pros and cons about them.

thanks for your opinions...

 

I would like to know this as well. There seems to be a lot of very nice BMW wheels for relatively little money.

 

i have no personal experience but i would just try to get rid of the varrstoan wheels you have now and get the right wheel you might as well get it done the right way the first time so you dont have problems down the road...varrstoan is also a new sponsor on this forum now so maybe you can get a deal

 

Wheel width and offset would help to determine the spacer needed, then we'll go from there.

 

My RS4 wheels requires wheel adapters on my TL. No problem!

 

would wheel adapters cause vibrations in the steering wheel?

 

I heard the hubcentric ones are good. Lugcentric bad - cause vibrations.

I am thinking about 15mm ones also. I am on the fence about Itchiba brand or H&R.


some people on the internet are also favoring the bolt-on wheel adapters versus simple spacers

 

i use bolt on wheel spacers/adaptors...no problems here

 

BMW= German
Acua= Japanese

Stick w/ the bolt pattern you have, or its gonna be a pain in the ass to try and fit German rims on a Japanese car. The offset of my Volk rims didnt fit, so I had to get spacers. 15mm in the front, 5mm in the rear. Unfortunately, I had to get the Ichiba V1 spacers. Good part is, the come with extended bolts, bad part is if you don't know anyone to get the extended bolts installed, your screwed.
