Just because you're not on air anymore doesn't mean you're not VIP my man.

They use adapters, it's stupid if you ask me. Buy real wheels instead of chinese BMW replica's. To me a VIP style car with BMW wheels is no where near VIP status but everyone is different I guess.

They're mainly used as starter wheels. You can find them cheap and they look good slammed on. Not really considered 'VIP' but they're a good start if you're low on change.

Still don't buy it, nothing against you. Chinese M6 reps new = $800-1000 USD? Adapters $300-500/set of 4. For $1500 you can get a set of knock off wheels that fit your car in a non-OEM style or buy a used set of VIP wheels, I told my 20" Work D3S for $1500 with tires, that is a wayyy better starter then putting BMW wheels on a Lexus. Nothing against BMW here, I started life as a BMW lover Just don't believe in cross breeding to fit a fad.
