If your worried about them "breaking" then you shouldn't have bought a 240. simple.

The likely hood that a knock off wheel is going to implode on you is rare. All that you have seen online is because someone hit something that was far denser than that wheel itself. So in that case even if the wheel was forged you'll have damage or you'll be dead regardless. I've seen people drift on Varrstoens and Rotas with zero issues.

So stop being a Zilvia Lemming.

I was referring more to the likelihood of failure under normal circumstances, as it pertains to manufacturing quality.

But hell, what do I know

Well please do tell us all the place you got them at, either the guy was a crack head or the equips you bought were 16x8.5 +45 all around. Maybe you did get the right sizes at that cost but we both know that's rare.

Ah, now I understand. Because I own a 240, I shouldn't care at all about a part that is absolutely imperative for my safety.


Just saying maybe only 8%-9% of 240 owners actually spend real money on their 240s and buy expensive parts. (show cars, Track cars, etc etc) The rest of us just like to look good while we DAILY DRIVE our cars. most of us want the look but don't want to put 4k rims on a 2k car.

"imperative for your safety"? you drive a 240! its a 20 year old car!!! the fucking things airbags might not even go off anymore!! hahaha. if you drive like a normal human being there is no god damn reason why the wheel should break. Do you drift? do you road race? do you auto X? if so then obviously you have money and you could afford a better wheel.


ive owned rotas, XXR, varrstoen and guess what, the only time I broke a rim was when I was being a dumb ass and slid into a curb, other than that ive hit plenty of pot holes in them, and hit plenty of lifted sewer caps...no a damn break in any....you are your own safety precaution.

if your worried about safety, buy some Advan Gts, role cage your car, Install onstar, and wear a life alert around your neck.

no. its not fucking rare. where are you getting this $4k number? what the hell is wrong with you?


at least the XXR equip knock offs didnt put fake bolts on them. (no bolts at all)

My car might be old and unsafe, as you say, but regardless of that fact, I prefer to use quality parts. As others have pointed out, used Equips can be had for only a small premium over their knock-off counterparts. With that in mind, why wouldn't I go with the real thing?

possibly because the "real thing" isn't readily available: meaning one has to spend weeks searching forums, with no guarantee that the wheels are still for sale when you eventually do find a thread selling them. or the more likely scenario: when a set does become available you're financially unable to buy them. these knock offs solve both those problems. so that people can build their car to look the way they want it to.

While I understand that argument, I'm willing to be patient while I search for wheels. It's not like searching the forums is hard work. At the end of the day, some people are willing to settle for knockoffs, and I'm not one of them.

I'm going to avoid discussing the sticky subject of personal finance.

wowitsaboy
06-26-2014, 10:21 AM
As far as finance: the wheels themselves arn't very expensive. BUT some people just don't have 1500 - 2000 of disposable income just laying around just incase the wheels they want go on sale. "Life" gets in the way of the build more often than not. The availability of these wheels let's people save/budget with a 100% guarantee that they will achieve the look they want when they are ready. It's more of a convenience issue than a financial one. I'm all for quality parts, my stance is: if "legit" is still in production then buy legit.

The people that hate on them are people who have never owned them and just read that they cracked because one of there hellaflush friends hit a pothole while driving fast on low pro 40 series tires.

Looks mighty nice but why raise my hopes and ask about the specs on the upcoming 17s when I already know Varrstoen turned its back on the 4 lug community. Perhaps when I decide to swap to 5 lug......... i'll just get the legit stuff.

Its because Equips are the most Epic classic late 90's (I belieive) wheel that Work has made, next to Meisters. Holy grail of wheels if you would, Man Varrstoen what happened to making your own design??? don't have any ideas?? this is like copying the Monalisa :facepalm::facepalm: just my :2c:

It's not that people don't like this wheel, it's that people don't like that this is a copy of a favorite wheel of many enthusiasts. Of course they look cool, they're Equip replicas. There's obviously a market for them. Good luck with your sale.

That said, keep the hate out this thread please. It's annoying when people bash on FS threads. Start a thread of your own if you want to start another rep wheel hate thread. Actually, don't.

Dumb wheels that will cost 1000 shipped either way. Why not just save for a little longer and buy the real deal? Varrstoen makes a killing off fan boys who decide to spend 1000 on wheels they probably pay 180 for all 4 total, and brag about how they got a good deal... If their price was cheaper I think less people would care about the fact they're knock offs
.. Yet they are somehow coveted as "high end" knock offs?

I find this all very entertaining. I'm not replying to the negative comments because what's the point? Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion and I'm just agreeing with the more sensible people in here. Besides, anyone that posts a comment, positive or negative, is just giving me a free bump, which I actually really appreciate. Sonic Motor does not manufacture these wheels, we sell them for VarrsToen. Don't shoot the messenger!

And for those complaining about these wheels being knockoffs, we also carry any wheel available from Mackin Industries, SSR, Enkei, Work, etc. So if any of you want some real Work wheels, feel free to PM me for pricing.

I understand the value between "real" vs "knockoff" but to be honest if I was into sliding my car around I would rather buy and smash up a set of these versus paying extra for the real thing and smashing them up.

Well these don't look EXACTLY like Equips. The ES8's have a step lip and real Equips have a smooth lip. That would be the easiest way to tell them apart. And I'm definitely not cool with people rocking Volk and Work stickers on these wheels. That's just taking it one step too far.

Where I can see where people would get ticked off at the release of this wheel (me included) I dont really mind it all that much due to the original equips being discontinued and as a result a lot harder to get. It also kind of irks me that theres little to no originality here. I do however get really really ticked off when varrstoen made the te37 copies. Rays put probably millions of dollars in design, research, and development for the te37 line of wheels. They even created a whole new forging process with whole new equipment to produce the Te37. When you see a company just completely ignore that, and openly copy a wheel, especially one where the company still sells, thats where we have the problem. I just wish that Rays would do something and sue this dead beat company for screwing them that hard. I know I would. Sorry for the reply, but I have had a real burning desire to say this
