They painted the whole quarter. Silver is hard to match to the rest of the car but they did an excellent job.

Rob got custom lip sizes. They don't offer 6" lips in 19s. He called and paid extra so basically the price was the same

But I am very happy with Kartier everytime I called I spoke directly to George the owner

I see, yea. I do like that style too.I live in Southern California. Where VIP Modular is from. I believe... correct me if i'm wrong. Anyways, I see the VR1's on a few cars around here GS/LS/Q45 and a few others. You did pick a great set. I really do dig it. , but these rims are wayy out of my price range. .


The closest set that i'm going to get... that actually look close to these are the Auto Couture magnifique.

MAD props to you bro.... GOD SPEED.
