Question Please help me find these wheels

So I am looking into finding some solid Volk Racing TE37 reps.

I have been looking at these Varrstoen ES2 wheels but can't seem to find them anywhere, does anyone know where I can pick up a set or any other recommendations for a good quality lightweight rep?

Varrstoen wheels are not very lightweight. I know sportline makes a te.37 rep that was rotary forged and pretty light but I think they only made them in 5x114.3. Other than that most other reps of this wheel will be nothing like the original

Get them directly from Varrstoen http://varrstoen.com/products/es-2/
They can re-drill them to 5x120 and you can get almost any finish you want. They even offer less aggressive setup to front and rear http://varrstoen.com/news/es2h-machi...black-19-inch/ I got my wheels from there and i have been really happy. For questions about wheels ask Navith from Varrstoen. Have you considered any sizing yet?

That is great to hear, I was considering the 18" if they have it, I have coilovers so I was going to try and get a perfectly flush offset without stretching tires or slamming it.

Do you have any recommendations on sizing? I have been considering the Forgestar 19" F14 SDC setup but I feel like 19s of the ES2s would make my brakes look tiny.

Well depends what you consider stretched, but 18x9.5 et30 front with 235/40/18 and rear with 18x10.5 et30 with 265/35/18 would be pretty flush and work with just fender roll to rear, maybe 18x10.5 et22 to rear, but more aggressive means more work.

This one has 18x9.5 et30 at front, bottom at the first post. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=973179

The 18x10.5 et30 rear would extend 1mm compared to this http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=865871

These two E92's have those tyres but 18x9.5 et22 and 18x10.5 et20 wheels

So this fitment right here looks absolutely perfect in my opinion:

18x9.5 +22 Fronts
18x10 +25 Rears



I apologize for my ignorance but if these dimensions are converted to sizes that are offered by Varrstoen will it fit the same? (ie. 18x10+25 -> 18x10.5+xx)

Varrstoen offers:
18x9.5 +22 Fronts
18x10.5 +22/+30

If you use the 18x10.5 et22 rear it will be 9mm further out in the rear. I would opt for the et30 if you want that same look.

18x10.5 et30 is 1mm more out than 18x10 et25. One more but with 10.5 et22 http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=710163

I'm a tad confused, why does that et22 look like it settles under the rear bumper at the same spot as the et30 even though they have the same tire size?

I guess the et22 had more aggressive camber? Meaning less of the tire is actually contacting the ground right? I don't understand why you wouldn't just run et30

I would say because it has more negative camber and maybe fenders are more rolled at rear. Generally they use lower offset, because they try to match the front camber/look/poke or be slightly more aggressive at rear, so they push the rear wheel more out and add camber. I have -1 degrees with my 18x9.5 et22 and 225/40/18. I also have 18x10.5 et15 with 255/35/18 at rear and -3 degrees of camber.

I keep finding these examples

Here is 19x9.5 et20 and 19x10 et22 your 10.5 et30 will retract 2mm. Basically unnoticeable. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=990334
