Default Test Fitting New Wheels
Still waiting for the coilovers, but couldn't wait to see what the wheels would look like.

Thanks for the compliments. They are VIP modular VR-05's 20x8.5 and 20x 10.5. I'm getting the BC extreme drop coilovers. Can't wait to be finished. Still have to get the inners powder coated, but i couldn't wait any longer to see how they looked.

Thanks for all of the compliments. Thought some better pictures would do these wheels more justice. This will be the stance when the car is done. I wouldn't be happy with it otherwise.
