I was kidding about the stickers but honestly 98% of people wouldn't know the difference between Volks and Varrstoens. Even the Konig Runaways look like my RE30s.

It takes a little bit of effort. You actually can buy stickers directly from Mackin, however they are not cheap for precisely this reason. If you request stickers for a certain Rays wheel, they often request pictures of the actual wheels on which they will be going in an effort to help ensure that people are not faking the funk, representing their fakes to be something they're not.

I couldnt get Top Secret decals for my AUTHENTIC side skirts (after they had to be repainted) from Bulletproof because I didn't buy them form them. Whole other sordid story...

But I can understand why. This was not very long after you-know-who started selling their knockoff garbage.

I appreciate all the comments and will take it into consideration. I was recommended to varrstoen by someone who's currently running it and he has no problem so far after a year. May i ask how's the quality of vossen wheels compared to varrstoen?

Just because his haven't exploded in a year doesn't make them safe. They are garbage. No two ways about it. Buy them if you want but you've been warned.

Vossen isn't a lightweight forged JDM wheel, but better than Varstoens and not knockoffs. The Vossen fanboy club will chime be here in 3, 2, 1...

some wheels are made just to look good... like varrs... some wheels are made to look good and out perform... like volks, advans, ssr, and work... theres a reason why certain wheels cost what they do...

a lot of other wheels out there are crap even compared to the stock wheels... safe your money and invest in some quality wheels...

once those knockoffs crack and break on you, its gonna cost you so much more to repair the damages that will come from a broken wheel than to invest on forged quality wheels...

dont support what may cost you your life...
