What did you expect from a company that's based on ripping off other companies' patented designs? Do they even have one single original design of their own?

BTW Varrstoen=Linea Corse=Rota. Doesn't matter how fancy or how "euro" sounding the name is; they're low quality cast/fake multi piece looking wheels made in the Philippines. It's bend/crack/flaking finish galore. Ask anyone who has had a set (and isn't in some way affiliated with them).

Actually the quality of my set is very good and a solid build...paint work is powdercoated...no flaking but the only thing I will say is that they are quite heavy.

And before you ask, I have no affiliation with varrstoen.

I do have quality wheels, I just use these for winter and track. If I damage them I don't mind so much which is why they were so cheap.

to each their own...

like i said, i just gave them chance because of some referrals, and i learned my lesson.

i was just stating that their "costumer service" is atrocious, but like everyone seems to agree, such a company probably doesn't put forth the best of products either.

Figured someone would pop out and say "hey, mine are perfect"

Just give them some time, and some miles.

I didnt say they were perfect.. im saying I have no issues with mine...
I have run them all through winter... various quarter mile runs...
200 mph on the autobahn and numerous laps around the Nurburgring.

Like I said before.... im not defending them but I will share my experience.

Ive been on this forum for a long time now and I too have had my issues with aftermarket products. So I definately feel for your frustration.
