i cant see the pics here at work, but of the car is gray, just about any color vs-xx will look hot. i love those wheels. almost bought a set for my 84 supra. the bronze should look good on there.

It would look great, under the assumption that those VS-XX are 19"... The mesh wheels you got on there in that pic are what? 17" rims ? And look how small they appear.

The problem with mesh wheels is that oftentimes than not they 'appear' to be smaller than they really are, or much larger than they really are. They never look like the size that they should be.

But yeah, those will look good in either case. And get some properly matched tires for them!!! Not those rubber bands in the first picture, the proportions look horrible...

They're 18"

they're 17" on that pic, and you're right about the proportions, but 19" is a no-no with our beautiful roads here in Montreal.

they CAN look good....
if the fitment is on point.

if it isn't, they'll look like any other car with a random set of mesh wheels.

Nice wheels but I don't think bronze and gray go together. Bronze and White is off very nice though. Nice contrast
