Vorsteiner VFF series feedback

THEROK · 09-26-2017, 10:35 AM

I understand these aren't BBS level quality, but for those who have put miles on these "flow formed" non-forged wheels, have they been issue free?

-Balance well
-Don't crack or bend from regular public road use
-Hold air consistently

I'm considering the 102s or 107s as they look great and are priced right. TIA!

We have been selling Vorsteiner Flow Forged wheels since the first VFF 101's came out about 4 years ago. We havent had any issues with wheels not balancing out or bending.

Vorsteiner does offer a lifetime structural warranty on their flow forged wheels against manufacturer and structural defects.

I'm actually more into nerding about technical specs and how they line up against the BBS FIRs of the world. What kind of run-out values do they deem as acceptable? How resistant are the wheels to bending compared to the best 6061 t6 forged wheels?

Appreciate the feedback!

Hmm, well, my VFF 102 (right front wheel) is used for 1,5 years and roundabout 17000 km (10k miles) and seems as if it doesn't run perfect anymore. It's just a small bending issue but the mechanic noticed it when he mounted my new tires. I'm a bit disappointed as we usually don't have potholes like you...*ggg*.

You can't compare them to FI-Rs but they do look fantastic as well. Regarding the "finish" and overall quality and weight they're doing good but not extraordinarily good.

Just closing the loop here, one of the wheels out of the box was out of round. They replaced with a new one that's not out of round. Was disappointed to see this kind of QC, but for the price, amazing design, perfect fitment and relative lack of complaints found here, no complaints here.

Thank you.

I know of someone who bought a new set of Vorsteiner wheels and one had to be sent back/replaced because it couldn't be balanced.
