Default Varrstoen Te37 reps

Hi guys, so let me start by saying I own authentic Te37 wheels for my S, but I recently bought some Varrstoen Te37 reps for my wife's Scion Tc. Should I put them on or no. They look really good, but I don't know much about the company or how well these wheels hold up to daily driving. I'm a bit nervous to be honest with ya'll especially now that she is pregnant

Wait, you bought wheels before knowing much of anything about them? All aside, my roommate has Varrstoen ES2's on his FR-S and they have had no issues whatsoever; they ran out just fine on a balancer and look decent for LM reps. I would have no qualms about putting them on.

I had seen enough pictures of people using them on their cars to feel confident they are ok, but later when I got them I noticed minor imperfections, no big deal and I cant compare them to my real volks, but then I did a little research and read horror stories of catastrophic failure with rep wheels. I realize tire size, size of pothole, speed...has a lot to do with wheel failure, but are they really that fragile?

Any more opinions are greatly appreciated.

honestly I think you should be ok, ive heard of good reviews about them. If its for a daily driven car it should be more than ok. People race on Rota's and they are ok.

I have the CE28 rep varrstoens on my s2. They are heavy, and you can definitely see the difference compared to the real deal. but they seem like a decent wheel. I have gone through a good amount of rough roads and they are holding up.

What all did you have done to get them to fit? I see you have overfenders in the rear, did you have to get wide front fenders too?
