    @cruiserguy
    They're definitely from the factory that makes VTX, same design and on the back I can see the remains of Varrstöen that's been ground flat. I just hope none of the money selling blems or secondary lroduction like this goes to line that slimey douchbags pockets. Which I'm pretty sure by the way they're distributed that these are factory selloffs not Varrstöen selloffs. I just don't want that asshole Rich to get my money because most of his wheels are deliberate ripoffs of Vin from SCS. These wheels are clear and present knockoffs of Volk TE37s but that's has to be the most knocked off wheel of all time already.

    Thx

    Yeah I'll leave good enough alone. That all sounded like Greek to me.
    Nice looking wheels. :D

    Yeah Vors. It has no history and I'm pretty sure it's a name owned by the factory that makes these wheels for cheap bigger name distributors like Varrstöen and the like. Like I said earlier, if I had to guess, these are technically blems, though they were guaranteed to be free of paint and workmanship flaws

    Sounds like the type of score I would end up with or would wait for if I knew anything about aftermarket wheels. :D
    I gotta keep these in mind, I'm glad you explained a little bit cause I really had no idea about them.

    Always nice to have affordable options. Certainly priced a lot lower than the same model of wheel that's had its name ground off the back haha. I'm going to beat the shit out of them on dirt roads and rocks so expensive wheels would be a waste in my opinion.

    I half ass did that with my SCS, yeah they aren't super spendy but I was still into each one about $205 and I kinda felt bad for beating them up.

    Yes. I did. If you have an auto locker in the front it's helpful to be able to disengage the passenger axle so turning is easier. If that's not an issue just put the actuator in the locked position and call it good.

    It's in your passenger kick panel, just a fat relay

    Not too hard to get takeoffs around here but the size is tough to work with. Toyota wheels are mostly 7" wide which is lame

    even if my truck has manual hubs? Pretty sure there's no plug for the ADD near the diff either. I'm prepping my spare ADD axle tube to go in since my manual hub axle tube is a bit borked
