V.i.p.
Ok, so I've been looking all your guys' V.I.P. cars...What exactly makes a car V.I.P.? I could see the stuff on the cars, but is there a list of things to make a car V.I.P.? I'm still new here to posting and stuff, but I have been searching the threads and what not and seeing what but I guess I want a better grasp of things and see what you guys put on your cars to make it V.I.P thanks
These threads might help you get a better grasp.

If you haven't already checked out the following thread, it has some VIP cars and some VIP style or VIP inspired cars.

Key elements are: big body luxury Japanese sedans (some will argue that it isn't only restricted to Japanese makes) and stance (aggressive wheel fitments and lowering).
Additional elements are: body kits, custom interior and audio/video, exhaust, etc.

if you're a drop out from high school, living in the boondocks of Japan (mostly the city wannabe states like saitama, and chiba), have very low income, yet you want to drive a luxury car in Japan, then you might be one of them. They also always go to Don-Quihote to shop, wear flipflops and sweatpants all day, wear Alba-Rosa and fake Dolce-Gabanna.
I keep on saying this but its the lifestyle/subculture of Japan. and im sure most of you have no idea what I'm talking about.

VIP Culture:
When VIP car enthusiasts in Japan build their car, they immerse themselves in the culture of VIP Car. Accessories like Noburi Flags, clothing, lighters, teddy bears, fans, and every accessory that a company makes are purchased and proudly displayed. Many automotive events and gatherings in Japan are steeped in the tradition of the VIP culture. Simple gatherings of enthusiasts can turn into major events. As usual in the Japanese culture, the cars are the stars, but socializing and even food are main attractions. VIP Car has a sense of pride within the Japanese community on its luxury vehicles.

Next question, how low are those cars? I mean like, how can you drive your car when it's that low? I think it looks hella tight, but I can see people V.I.P. their car for show? But I can see low, low offsets on wheels, big lips, shaved fenders? How much do people spend for their shaved fenders?
Trending Topics
Well take a look at some of the cars that are posted in the Vip section ... from Japan ... they have crazy wheels and offsets where it would be crazy to drive ... but in Japan they have Such great roads ... unlike Cali ... so that makes it more hard to have this style ..
keep researching I found alot

not to nit-pick, but it's not initialized "V.I.P." as we know it, but "VIP", all one word. Secondly this site is probably not the quickest way to learn about this topic. vipstylecars.com is a better place to start.

As for your wheel question. You gotta research bro...a lot. usually crazy aggressive wheel fitment that cambers out.
wheels: Rays, Lexion, SSR, BBS, JP, maya, lowenhart...just too many to list...do some research. Youll find it
I know a lot of VIP owners that use their cars everyday. I don't use mine as a daily, but I do drive it quite often.
Zenetti is not a VIP wheel manufacturer.....nor is it any good. Stick with companies like Kranze, Work, AME, Garson, Traffic Star, Leon Hardiritt, etc...
