Default Here we go again.... One of a kind Work VS-XX

Well I decided to try a less aggressive wheel build for my car so that I could go lower and ended up with this. They're custom mounted Work VS-XX in 18x10+12(4"lip) with a 225/40 and 18x11.5+3(5"lip) with a 235/40.

With this setup at this height I have no rubbing issues on MY car, except when going over sudden height changes in the road and the front tires rub the top of the inner fender wells(already hammered flat.)

Overall I'm OK with the results, but I am missing the poke my other setups had. So I'm thinking of buying half inch bigger lips all around, as I think it would make these fit a lot better.

But enough chit chat, here's pics(sorry I was careless shooting stupid wide aperture in direct sunlight so back focused pics 3,5 & 6 so they're a tad blurry)-

Thank you. The reason the width is not a conventional 1/2" increment is because I had these customized so that the faces are sandwich mounted between the inner and outer barrels. Traditional VS-XX are standard mounted in front of the outer barrel, hiding the register and covering up part of the lip.

Thank you sir. That's a hood bra on my hood, and yes I damaged my rear fender paint when I flared my fenders. I had to do my flares with a sledge hammer since there was preexisting damage on my driver rear fender that wasn't allowing me to flare it with a roller. I plan to touch them up eventually or repaint the car.
