Wow nice choice.. I don't think they are too VIP, kind of a mix between VIP and a racing style wheel.. Looks good man.

Daishi 05-20-2010 09:17 AM

Ah man.. don't worry about it. It looks awesome :- )
You can always sell it in the future! Now get that much needed twin turbo xd

Looks pretty good. I thought for sure you'd be going with time attack style rim since you have the whole red/black theme going on. But not bad nonetheless.

I Run L.A. 05-20-2010 01:36 PM

you sure surprised me. Not the route i was thinking you would take.

Fly1 Motorsports 05-20-2010 02:35 PM

I dig it...reminds me of the Vossen 082s. Car looks great man :tup:

batman_4 05-20-2010 02:46 PM

rims look ok, don't flow w/your car theme IMO....i'd expect something more "sporty/aggressive." also that rear rim is to thin/weak offset. car still looks hot though

res0zsfa 05-20-2010 03:02 PM

Simota you hav great taste....this llooks AWESOME

kenchan 05-20-2010 03:06 PM

i guess the other thing is that the width of the tires vs the wheels... tyically want to have more stretch on the sidewall at least so it has some angle on the sidewall, not a flat right angle kinda look. it makes the wheel set look kinda heavy and sloshy unless you give it some stretch....watever that means. :D

but again, it's all taste. i dont like super stretched sidewall but a little stretch looks great.

since my triplets around here have matte black wheels with red time attack i wanted to shy away from that.... :tup: so i went with a different route

my friend wanted me to stretch tires.. but i dont trust my driving that much.. i didnt wanna risk knicking my wheels.... :shakes head: but i love stretched tires... :drool:

chuckd05 05-20-2010 04:04 PM

I think they look great... Nice Job all around

RCZ 05-20-2010 04:16 PM

Damn, those look surprisingly good actually. The rear end of the car looks amazing.
