Default Cheap VIP wheels

Anyone know of any cheap VIP wheels? I was planning on getting 20" work VSXXs (gold) until i found out its gonna cost me more than the car lol. I don't like chrome though even though I know that's one of the main ingredients for VIP. Heelllpppp

haha, I guess you're right but I mean, I just don't want some regular old fat 5 spoke wheels. I love the way the VSXXs look but theyre just too expensive right now.

this is a oxymoron...

You trying to do a vip inspired build? I would say go with used wheels or replica company like linea corse. But if your REALLY trying to be VIP with cheap rims, you wont fool anybody.

If your just looking for nice wheel and trying to save money, not caring if they real or fake then go for it. If your looking for some kind of status symbol like most vip cars are... forget about it without some $$$$$$$.

And I agree with above, I bought reps for my sc and even though I love them, Im thinking about getting the real deal now or a set of ssr's. I wish I would of just went ahead with the real deal just for my piece of mind lol.

I suppose I should just wait until I have the money then. I don't wanna look back and regret spending money on something I was planning to replace. I think would rather just keep the stock wheels for a while, better than getting knock-offs yeah?

what's your definition of cheap? You could probably get some decent used wheels with tires for around +-2300

Not $4k hah. But if I'm gonna save up to 2300 I might as well keep saving that little more to get the wheels I truly want
