Okay, I know I'm going to get absolutely flamed for asking this question, but here goes it. I'm married, 37, 2 kids, so maybe I'm just not tuned into these terms, but what the heck does VIP mean? I know what the acronym stands for, and I have an idea of what it means as applied to cars, but I've never been completely sure. Can someone enlighten me?

I'm getting a red x on the first one.

Did you go with the 19X9.5/10.5? Looks great! I considered that setup not too long ago.

What are the offsets? So the pics posted are the 19X9.5/10.5??? How did that setup work? Any rubbing?

I've seen the 19X8.5/9.5 on a GS and the lips are nowhere close to being are large as yours.
Do you have a password to your Photobucket account for the GS pics? I'd love to check them out. Thanks.

the hiros were 19 x 9.5 witha 45mm offset (3mm spacer needed to clear the strut) and a 19 x 10.5 with a 55mm offset (straight bolt on) the "promo" set of wheels that i was talking about refer to the EXE Konkave wheel.
