This is what happens when you buy fake wheels (Varrstoen)

[Wake]

Im surprised I havent said anything yet.

To all the people that talk shit on people for buying used real wheels:
Most people buy used versions of the wheels they would be buying new if they could afford it. Everyone likes to play the broke card. But the constant remains that people that buy real wheels usually end up buying parts/sticker/lips all sorts of things from the original manufacturer, and usually end up buying a new set of wheels from that same company or the like, down the line.
Therefore the "buying used wheels doesnt help the company" argument is moot. Because I know that since owning a set of used rays wheels I have talked to them at least 5 times and ordered about $350 in stuff for my wheels after the fact. I have numerous friends with used works/volks/SSR's that have spent hundreds of dollars as well.

How does spending money on the same wheels over and over justify them being cheap? why not just save the money to begin with and buy real wheels, instead of trying to buy your way into the newest fad.

just like people that buy knockoff wheels would buy the real deal if they could afford it.

by that standard, you are the exact same as somone buying rotas and spending $350 through volk on lug nuts, stickers, center caps, and valvestems. How are they hurting the company?

i agree with you on this, buy what you can afford so to speak. but if you have to spend more on knock offs then the orginal would have cost...you need to evaluate your situation. I just hate when people say knock off's put companies out of business but every single authentic part on their car was bought used. unless you buy your shit brand new you are just as much of a problem.

now onto the issue at hand, regardless of how they broke or why they did it...the fact remains...that is some SERIOUS customer service considering they replaced his wheels for free. Personally, now that i don't have a dedicated "track" car anymore...i will not/do not purchase knock off aero/wheels and most of engine/suspension stuff is real deal and bought BRAND NEW.

Hello! Thats what Im saying ! They replaced his wheels even tho his story didnt add up, and even if id did .Its the Customers fault for not paying attention to road conditions. I dont know of any wheel or aftermarket performance company that will replace purchased parts that were clearly damaged by customer negligence. So props to Varrstoen .

Do you think He would of complained if his wheels were Enkei, Volks,Rays ,BBS ? He only complained cause they were Copies and lied about his story. All the other Top Rim companies would of told him to take a hike.

Hell, will Garret give me a new Engine If Overboost the hell out of my engine and blow my shit up? Will HKS give me a new turbo if I dont run the vacuum lines correctly to BOV?

The guy is very lucky he got anything at all. Varrstoen Rocks . Id buy their Wheels just for that simple fact .They have great customer service , period. Any rim will break Copy or real .These are nice wheels , I dont buy shit for bragging rights.Oh "look at me I got real JDM racing wheels" lol. If i could afford them ,hell yeah.Im not hating but common, theres guys out there that get wood just by showing off how much their shit cost. I like Crystal Champagne but right now, Im drinking Budweiser.LOL

Id rock these wheels anyday of the week and still have money for my Budweiser.

This thread has turned into Knock off VS Real brand wheels. Everyone is overlooking the fact. The guy In the M3 got a new set of wheels for free , Even tho he didnt deserve it. End of story.

Now where did I leave my Beer?
