Default HP VIP Wheels???

Hey just out of curiosity did anyone happen to find the HP VIP Wheels appealing? I searched for them and did not get one result. Does anyone on here have an opinion on them for the 2GS or perhaps actually have them on right now? Pics would be great. Or any kind of feedback/opinion. Thanks!!

It would help if you posted a pic, you will get a lot more responses if the wheel is here for people to look at.

19's. Its a toss up right now between these, the HP Evo Lightning, and the Axis Penta. All 19's. These wheels in black the other two in hyperblack.

I think the words HP and VIP do not belong together. It's a decent design, nonetheless.

Hp evo is ehhh I know you could find a better spoke and lip combo imo

19s will be a good look for the car , esp if slammed

Let's agree to disagree. HP does not make any VIP wheels. They may be VIP-styled, but I do not think it could be considered along the ranks of real VIP wheels. Those are reserved for companies such as: AME, special divisions of Work (Euroline and Varianza) and OZ, etc. I dunno...it's like putting a bench-park spoiler on a Honda and calling it JDM.

i think HP are just cheaper wheels.... i would never consider then VIP. Just cause a wheel had a 5 inch lip doesnt make it VIP. I think you would know a VIP wheel when you see it. People dont make a thread and ask "Leon Hardititt VIP WHEELS???"............. just my $.02.
