Thanks for all the comments!! Wow, I am really suprised that many members are not digging the VR G2...To be honest they are one of my fav JDM wheels.
I think maybe they are not aggressive enough ? I know I am finding a solution esp. the front.
Don't get me wrong, the polished blade stockers are also great, I was going to get a different look with less spokes G2. Again, personal preference right
I picked VR G2 for same top built quality (forged as the Stock BBS), a bit lighter (3 lbs lighter per corner), a bit wider (8.5F, 9.5R), a bit easier to wash and clean...
Ya, I love how 20" G2 looks so hot on T-Rex06's F, but I decided to stick with 19" for better handling performance; plus the road condition here is not that friendly for this heavy F riding on 20"...
^ Nice, ya I thought about switching over because Type-2 G2 offer better offsets...
Mine are 19x8.5 ET45 Front and 9.5 ET45 Rear. I was supposed to get 8.5 ET35 front, but back then they are out of stock and need to wait at least 3 months...
Lately I am thinking maybe try 19x9.5 ET45 all around but I am not sure about the front tires size and the handling factor...

I can see where you are going with the wheels, IMO , I would have at least gone wider.
Maybe a new grill with the emblem deleted, idk, maybe its your license plate, I mean for god sake, its an ISF, and it should remind me of a Infinity G series coupe, either way, very classy, and well executed, Toms looks like it was a factory option, keep it up
