Anyone saw both Rota Grid and Varrstoen in real !?? I didn't saw both. I'm wondering which one look better. On some pictures the rota grid look frekain nice. on other, they just look like cheap toys with too much concavity.

The varrstoen, look nice but I heard the concavity depends on how large the rims are so a 9.5 will be more concave than a 9 inch rims. So I would like to know how much concave the 17x9.5 look like compared to the ria grid.

The varrstoen look to have a 1.5 inch rims and the rota a half inch lips.. I would prefer the lip of the varrstoen but would still like to have something concave.. anyone?

Varrstoen Wheels Track 200 Series 2 are probably the best copied TE37's so far...

And the concave is still decent.

More subtle then Rota Grid's yet tough.

Rota Grid's concave is a tad excessive / aggressive.

I'd go geunine TE37's, but if you only want to chose between Varrstoen and Rota, go Varrstoen.

next set, varrsteon!

here in the us. they run for 800$ shipped. haha! rota are even more expensive at 900-950$

I'm partial but I think like, after 3 month, I will get over the excessive concavity of the rota and would prefer a more rafined look like the varrstoen.

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
