Default VIP Modular VR01's on my new toy

Got these wheels from Tong Phan over at VIP Modular. Wait was up to 5 weeks, but they finished making them in about 4.

VR01 with custom finish: polished window cutouts and satin brushed finish on face. Chrome outer barrel.

225/35/20 and 255/35/20 Hankook V12

20x9
20x10.5

Rolled int the back. For the front, only the two fender tabs that the wheel well plastic clips to where pushed all the in.

Car is lowered on TEIN CS coilovers, acquired from a forum member in FL. 20% tint, ebay grill, and that's a wrap folks.

Thanks for the kind words guys...

I have some Megan Racing Adjustable LCAs coming in tomorrow. I want to bring the camber in 1 more degree, should net me about 2-3mm clearance at the top of the wheel, so then I can roll lower in the rear. Right now the camber is natural with the factory non-adjustable LCA.

I was rubbing at the 9oclock position, rubbing the plastic side skirt and some of the lip. Had to shave/cut that portion. The rest of the lip is just rolled.
