Default Torn between two wheels help me decide...

I am in love with two wheels to complete the new look for my GS. As some of you know my car is in the process of being repainted and adding a few goodies. The new look will feature a full Vertex bodykit, Silk Blaze roof spoiler, and a solid color paint scheme. The two wheels I love are the VIP Modular VR-08 and the Kranze Vishunu. Which one do you guys think will flow better with the car?

Wheel sizes will be 20x8.5 or 9 front and 20x11 rear

VIP MODULAR VR-08 followed by KRANZE VISHUNU

those VM rims are pretty bling, if ur going vertex you could go the JDM/elegant look and go with the weds... with the right offsets and height i think ur car would look nicer on the WEDs

Def. WEDS KRANZE VISHUNU

what color will your GS be painted?

btw, approx cost of a paint job on the GS. I ask this b/c I am considering getting my GS repainted. Same black color but I want to fix up the swirls and little dings that have occurred over 10 years.

I like the weds kranze vishunu as well. I think the other ones will expose the little rotors, unless you've done a bbk front and rear. I still like the Weds the best.

It is going to be a solid blue. I can not really tell you how much the paint job should go for because I think the shop is giving me a deal on the paint and body work. You are with a show team so you should be well connected also.

I gotta give it up for the Weds hands down. Personally I'm not a fan of American brand 3 piece wheels. Yes they look nice, but working in a wheel and tire shop I've seen so many that claim the tire is leaking when its the silicone seal on the wheel itself thats leaking. Most American brands like Asanti, Lexani, DUB etc. leak all the time this is due to the fact that the otter lip is usually chrome plated so silicone does not bond too well. Also chrome after time bubbles, pitts and flakes off after time. Where as most japanese brands are anodized plated or polished with clear coat.

I voted for Kranze Vishunu.

IMO it would compliment the Vertex body kit...
