IMO, for the VIP look you'll need some things.

A black car.
19-20" wheels at least 9.5-10" wide. Low offset, deep dished, and cambered to hell.
Air bagged suspension.

for instance:


Definitely not cheap to pull off. Good luck with whatever route you want to go, but at least don't buy those wheels.

Yeah those wheels = far from VIP. I agree with every thing stated here. Except the black car. I see tons of colors on VIP cars.

The wheels I posted are AMG knock offs, and they were actually a wheel option on the Sebring. My mom had one with them.

Chrysler had ties to Mercedes back then.


However, a real monoblock Benz wheels is one of my all time favorite wheel designs. If I ever get a Mercedes, it will be wearing them.
