Anyone saw both Rota Grid and Varrstoen in real !?? I didn't saw both. I'm wondering which one look better. On some pictures the rota grid look frekain nice. on other, they just look like cheap toys with too much concavity.

The varrstoen, look nice but I heard the concavity depends on how large the rims are so a 9.5 will be more concave than a 9 inch rims. So I would like to know how much concave the 17x9.5 look like compared to the ria grid.

The varrstoen look to have a 1.5 inch rims and the rota a half inch lips.. I would prefer the lip of the varrstoen but would still like to have something concave.. anyone?

Varrstoen Wheels Track 200 Series 2 are probably the best copied TE37's so far...

And the concave is still decent.

More subtle then Rota Grid's yet tough.

Rota Grid's concave is a tad excessive / aggressive.

I'd go geunine TE37's, but if you only want to chose between Varrstoen and Rota, go Varrstoen.

next set, varrsteon!

rota grids for sale if anyone is interested lol

wher ecan you get the vaarstoen from the US for under $900?

found these for $1094,

here in the us. they run for 800$ shipped. haha! rota are even more expensive at 900-950$

I'm partial but I think like, after 3 month, I will get over the excessive concavity of the rota and would prefer a more rafined look like the varrstoen.

Varrstoen Wheels for $800 shipped?!

Dude WTF you waiting for?!

Go for it!

:D

    • FWIW, I've aerated oil, and cams snapped. You can figure out the rest 🥲
    • Depending on the hose, sometimes engine out is the easiest option  
    • Get an inspection camera up there. 
    • Yeah, but look at the margin in viscosity between the 40 and the 60 at 125°C. It is not very large. It is the difference between 7 and 11 cP. Compare that to the viscosity at only 90°C. The viscosity axis is logarithmic. The numbers at 90 are ~15 and ~35. That is about half for the 40 wt oil and <half for the 60. You give up viscosity EXPONENTIALLY as temperature rises. Literally. That is why I declare thicker oil to be a bandaid, and a brittle one at that. Keep the oil temperature under about 110°C and you should be better off.   Having said all of that, which remains true as a general principle, if you have indeed lost enough oil from the sump that the pump was seeing slightly aerated oil, then all bets are off. That would of course cause oil pressure to collapse. And 35 psi is a collapse given what you were doing to the engine. Especially if the oil was that hot and viscosity had also collapsed. And I would put money on rod or main bearings being the source of the any noise that registered as knock. Hydraulic lifters should be able to cope with the hotter oil and lower pressure enough to prvent too much high frequency noise, although I am willing to admit it could be the source.
