If you had to choose between those 2 sets the first one will show the brakes better and those lips front and rear are HUGE...

Choosing new wheels is very hard. Out of those 2 I would go with the V's...

Hmm the JP Scaras would look alright, nothing suprising.. I think he is more on the sporty VIP side.. The new Work wheels will definitely look good! Its just crazy because VIP is just like a melting pot.. A lot of different styles!.. But im sure anything speedaddic will pick, it will be pimp! haha

I like the first one better. I personally don't like the 2nd one because it hides the brakes too much and just looks too heavy.

I personally have not gotten the "VIP" mindset.

Any particular label of a style just does not make sense to me. Style to me is simply doing what you like to do to your car. If you like it, do it. Why does it have to be labelled "VIP", "PIMP", "Rice" or any other name??

For example what is bluelex's style? It's his style dammit! Why should it be called VIP just because other people call it VIP?

These wheels are hot! Truly transforms the GS into a classy sporty saloon. The Scaras look like early 90's Benz AMG wheels imo. Not a bad thing if you like old school

I think the scaras only look good on Gato's car...haha Seriously though, if 1 out of every 7 VIP GS's in the US didn't already have Scaras on them, I'd buy a set.

Those are gorgeous wheels, but the largest size available is 19". Your photoshop looks more like 20's. Just be sure you like the look in 19's with the body kit and suspension setting you plan to use. Super-slammed cars with lots of camber look great with 19's, but otherwise, they might look too small.
