Default Decided to do something different.....

Die hard VIP fans will probably not like it, but I'm "over" doing what the "experts" say should be done.


I got the inspiration from a Q45 in a VIP magazine first, then the 3rd gen GS seen here on CL.


Sorry for the crappy mobile phone pics, but I just washed her after the Philly Auto show, so that's all I had on hand.



These are stock R35 GT-R wheels from a 2009 GT-R premium, so they are the dark gunmetal. Fronts needed spacers up front due to the high offset, but the rears are on point.

love the new GT-R rims. Not sure if I'm feeling the vents but thumbs up

I love vip style and even the R35 rims can pull it off. In last october there was a SICK F50 with the new R35 rims and it just looked unreal.

I think they really suit the car.
And it would be off the chain to paint the inside all black so it's just the outside flat face that remained gunmetal.
