I have to admit he pulled off the look, wheels and fitment are sick, gotta love Scaras! Maybe it's snobbish to say it, but at the end of the day it's still a Kia.

Wow, Im impressed. I like those cars... just goes to show you, you dont need a 50K car to have it looking pretty nice.

I always wondered about the extremely small tire choices, I mean if you are so "baller" and "VIP" why didn't you buy the correct tire size for your $5000 wheels?

Are you reffering to stretched tires? Tires are stretched as part of getting the correct VIP stance and fitment. If you put "regular" size tires then it won't clear the fenders or get that stance. It's just part of the style with the tires. I will let the VIP experts chime in

+2 tire streching is an attribute to achieve the low flush stance. Def not a matter of "being cheap", but the car is....wonder no more B.Diddy, cuz even streched tires can run a grip!

Stretched tires cost me way more than not stretching tires.

i think the Scaras work real well on the Kia cause imo many cars i see them on they arent particularly flush, so their offsets work well on a car like that.

and i tend to agree on it 'still being a Kia' but as some people say it looks more true to the vip style than cars that claim to be VIP or are proper platform cars. But it is still a cheap mass produced car, i do like the fact that though my GS is 10yrs old its still beautiful to drive, smooth & quiet etc, turns heads and is on the original engine etc.

i doubt that Kia will be going as strong in 10yrs! but then its horses for courses and whats available in your country too (i had little choice to get a 2GS as nothing else much is available [though some companies are importing some Y34s now])
