Default New Look for '09 (New Wheels for '09, and More to Come!)

Hey guys I know how most of you feel about 20's on a 2GS but to be honnest im 20 and next month 21 and I just can't afford new 19' tires every 7-10k miles. (still going to school too!) Well I still have my VS-XX and ill eventually put em back on the car but for now i bought these and then they'll go on my new project. Just wanted to try something new for the time being (the work vs will be getting refinished)

The new wheels are...............












VIP Modulars VR-01's
The face is flat black with a black chrome lip

20x8.5 fronts
20x10 rears

Offsets unknown (thats how you buy em )

Also looks like you could drop it more in the rear as well and use a 5 mil spacer in the rear at least gotta see it a bit better.

nice wheels, i love these and Amistad Klauds which are similar.
i dont get why you have to buy new tyres every 7-10k miles and if you cant afford the tyres but you can afford new 20inch wheels?
Im in school too and i cant even afford fuel to put in my car
