ah that makes more sense now, I was afraid you had paid full price for those 21" while getting the wrong disk/offset/width combo.
the car is beautiful, body kit, air suspension, etc, but the wheel lips are barely staggered; as if it was on a front wheel drive sedan. Personally , I really enjoy looking at the sharp lip contrast from front to back, I'm not talking deepness, I'm talking contrast. It is kinda preventing it from being the king vip that it was meant to be. I'm not hating, just an honest opinion of a vip guy to a fellow vip guy.

Thanks everyone for your complements. The rear wheels are not high disk and yes they can probably have more lip but i came across a good deal and i wanted to try 21" to be a little different. Also the trafficstar DTX's dont have much lip i'm guessing because the design of the face. I think they look good and flow well with the car despite the lip size. Some people may think that rims have to have big lip in order to look good on a vipcar but i dont think that it is necessary true in many cases.

all the clips have so much wind noise from the freeway... u can't
hear the exhaust.. its just like a low rumble... ill try to capture the
sound..
as for the fitment and what not.. all four corners were pulled... but i guess
u can always go more.. theres always room for 5-10mm more i suppose..
but going back to my tuck vs flush.. im not vip expert so ill just let the vip
magazine illustrate a little more...
and thats the trafficstar ad, im sure they can put any offset and width
they would like...

thanks in advance
The Fabulous exhaust is noticebly louder than factory and much louder than my ucf20 with the Junction exh especially during acceleration. I dont think it is that bad but if you want to keep the quite ride perhaps go with something else other than the fabulous. hope this helps

heres some pictures of ucf30/31's with the same rim.
it looks very very similar in fitment(lipsize)..
but i dunno.. i can't tell hi disk from lo disk
i never thought the rims were mistakenly ordered nor did i question the fitment
being not aggressive enough, but i guess to each their own..
i love how this car came together...
makes me like that celsior body style more than i already did...

i appreciate your opinion but i cant help to find it funny that you assume that the wheels are wrong offset or disk without knowing anything about them at all other than the diameter. perhaps i'm doing this all wrong and I 'd really like to learn from the best. Being the expert that you are, why dont you educate all of us here and show us a your vip car with you the proper "vip king" wheels.
thanks in advance
