What do you think?
The only thing I don't like about my vs-xx is the color and the front offset's a little to high for my taste (Planning on getting 5mm-10mm spacers).
More pics later.




Artistic shot? No, camera just tripped out from low memory because I forgot to stick the memory card back in.




NEW PICS ON PAGE THREE FROM 10/16

VS-XX are always a winner on the SC. What are the specs on the wheels?

^ the specs are need more spacers...didn't you hear the man?

I haven't seen fitment pictures yet but by the looks of it, yea...they need the spacers.

And are they bronze? It looks a little bit weird but maybe it's the night shot, I think it would look awesome if you sanded down the paint and mirror polished the entire wheel!

That doesn't answer my question at all. You can still whack spacers on even if the wheels sitting on a -7mm offset.

Thanks for the compliments guys!

specs:
Fronts 8.5x19 +40 w/ 245/35/19
Rears 10.5x19 +42 w/ 275/30/19 (3'' lip...I think )

I'm planning on running 5mm spacers in the front, but it looks like I'm running out of threads... Would I have to use longer studs? Or will I be able to pull them off?

Daytime pics...Maybe tomorrow the sun looks like it's going down.

Nice. It's probably safer to use longer threads with the spacers, just to be sure that the nuts tighten on properly.

5mm usually dont need to extend anything. 10mm and up you do.
