Finally got picked up, will be finished and redrilled Monday. That's when it will be tested. Hopefully they fit without any problems.

Fastgti69

So wheels fit no spacer at all! I wasn't able to get the hub centric rings today, so I'm going tomorrow. The rims will be on and I'll take some photos for you guys. It looks so close to the inside struts etc.

those arent varrstoens. so no. we only talk about real wheels here.

Fastgti69

AHHH, thank god. I was just scared cause when they mocked up the rim it looks so close to the suspension even without a tire! I was scared with a tire then off the jack I wanted to make sure it wont hit the suspension. What size tire are you running btw? I have 245/40/18's and what offset are you on?

BTW, The company these are from is AVID. 1

They are 18x9 +35. Up front I run a 5mm spacer so its +30. Currently running a 235/40/18 Yokohama s drive. I do have quite a bit of clearence since I'm on coilovers though

Fastgti69

Hmm, do you think it would have fit without the 5mm spacer?

My center caps are the only things that don't fit LOL. The axle pops it out.. . I have to figure some way to make that work now.

It'll fit fine without the spacer. Just makes the front and rear poke even and looks better to me. May I ask why you are so deathly afraid of a 5mm spacer? Lol

Fastgti69

Just cause my friend has spacers on his m3. Went through 2 sets of them. Every set he would get would eventually wobble over 80mph. I don't wanna do that at all. Not with over 400whp/wtq I don't. But hey, they fit no problem. My next step is to figure out what to do about the damn axle bolt that pops out. Thanks for all the help btw.

A spacer is a flat piece of metal. Makes absolutely no sense that they would wobble out of nowhere. Hell my setup has already seen 155mph and the slick setup uses a 15mm spacer without issue. Interested to see them on. How much is the axle sticking out by?

Fastgti69

I know, maybe those hubs weren't hub centric? I have no clue. If I have to, I will get the 3mm mayhbe the 5mm if I need it to clear the axle bolt. It sticks out about half an inch maybe.. I'll take a pic tomorrow. Maybe I'll have to shave the center cap or make a little hole in it for now.

I've tracked the last 2 seasons on xxrs, my boss has been the past 2 on xxrs...... doesn't really matter. They can take the stress for the most part. Your more likely to damage wheels on the street then the track. There's more things in the pavemen tto hit


As far as spacers if you have junk spacers its possible to have issues as they can move around a little bi

Subd. These wheels looks pretty legit.

Fastgti69

I won't, no worries. That's the whole reason behind redrilling. I did not want to get the 5x114.3 hubs cause then I can't put my stockers back when I go to the track .

Yea, pretty much. My buddy that sells the rims has gone to the track with his GTI on his BBS reps. And he rapes his cars, no issues at all. 19's too!

On they car, they look way more flush. It's pretty insane how well it fits.

Sh3itskees

I'm definitely waiting for some pics!

u do know that varrstoen is a company that makes knockoffs of "real" wheels right...

Fastgti69

LOL, funny huh.


The rims fit, no spacer no modification. All I had to do was redrill these rims and get some hub centrics and bam. I was gonna take pics but my car is all dirty n ****. Today its gonna get a wash and I'll take pics for you guys.

650 picked up and 750 shipped in US are the prices for the rims if anyone wants to order from my friend. 18X9 +35 offset.
