Option Lab wheels!!!

A friend of a friend just did some fitment testing for them and the wheels look pretty damn nice. They look to be much better quality than Varrstoen and XXR as well i'll probably be picking up a set once I get my car back up and running If you have any questions let me know and i'll ask my buddy to ask them directly.

Being a huge wheel buff, and owning tons of wheels, what exactly makes these "look" much better quality then XXR and Varrstoen? For the cost of two of these wheels you can buy a whole set of XXR's. There really isnt anything wrong with XXR/Varrstoen wheels, they just eliminate the RnD of wheels and go straight to the final stage. People complain the crack.. sure but any wheel under the right pressure/situations, will crack.

Just saying for $245 a wheel, You can get Enkei RPF1's which are strong, light and proven. Sorry for the short rant.

I don't think linking your SoCalEvo attachments is going to work, you have to link to the image files.

And to add quality wheels shouldn't crack on a street driven vehicle. In a motorsports setting its a completely different case.

These wheels look no different from Rota or Varrestoen or XXR. They are all cheap affordable wheels that will change the look of your car if thats all your after.

I actually found out that a distributor that's local to me has gotten a 50% return rate on Varrstoen wheels in the last couple months These wheels are actually covered under a lifetime structural warranty as well. We'll see how they hold up at the track this weekend

Agree. Not that some can't afford them. I just refuse at this point, been there done that. Never again.

Funny the folks that go and buy the 800 a piece wheels just to put -4* camber in the back with tires that are 4 sizes to small.

To quote Ren and Stimpy: IDIOTS

They want the street cred authentic wheels give you. If you care about that type of thing.
