I'm partial to my front end, the only thing in my future is 97 sides and a nice lip for the rear that'll flow with the 97 sides.
Thank you, and yeah VS-XX aren't really cheap
This is my daily, so when I get my rear tire sizing squared away I should be able to do everything. I was able to drive almost anywhere when i had my 18x10+13 and my 18x12-1 on the car

I want to like it as well. It's so close to being 'very nice', but in my book they are to the point where they just don't fit.
If you're going to go with this "STYLE", then you (like you said) need to get more aggressive with the tires, AND THEN you need to SLAM IT down so the tips of the top of the rim almost touches the fender.
If it were mine, I would get some Missle rear fenders, and 25+ fronts and make it look really clean like JDMMuscles SC- as it sits it just seems incomplete. Reminder: I do want to like it- the rims are very nice, great choice. I also like the ES projector fogs- nice work. Of course, also 97-00 sides and rear would give this a more finished look.

The plan is to get tires that'll have a thinner overall profile, add a tad more camber and lower the car.
I would love to get the K&M fenders, but I'm waiting till I get a better shipping connection from Japan to be honest with you. And even then I'd just order 7" or 8" lips and make the wheels poke out past the over fenders
LOL! Nope, that's not it

Holy crap!! I wish I had a funny picture to show you what my face looked like lol
Op: I'm with most of the others on here a few simple body mods and it'll look really cool. As is it looks off but all in all I'm likin those rims. Did anybody guess the special sauce yet?

Yeah once I get the tire sizing down I'm gonna focus on some stuff to spruce up the outer to help with the flow of things
And nope, no ones guessed how these wheels are one of a kind
Just a little bit Need some more camber in the rears for sure, and the front camber is set at -1.3 so I need to add a degree or two to tuck the tire a bit better

if you compare any of the pics of my rim to a run of the mill VS-XX you should notice fairly easily
It's all good, I only care about the wheels
