pics tomorrow hopefully. jury duty is taking care of my day. the car needs springs and a spacer in the rear, but they look great. the lip looks amazing in person. i am very happy with the look and fit.

nice VIP wheels.

I still can't wait to see the rims on the ride. Perfect VIP wheels though.

me too i cant wait to see them on the car, they should look awesome if they fit flush.

the fit in the front is dead on. the rear is ok, but it needs a spacer to be perfect. i'm thinking 10mm should do it.

yea, very VIP-ish

randomsuper

it's funny because i wasn't really going for that, but if it works, it works. i really think you guys are gonna like the look, but without a drop, it's slacking. tomorrow my springs get here, so maybe i can get them installed sunday. i have no idea what i have to do to get it done on an xb2 but i'm sure it can't be that difficult.

VIP-ish but not VIP. What style are you going for though?

randomsuper

nothing in particular. i know what i want the finished product to be. low, wide, and mean. if anything, i'd really like to euro it up. i originally came from a vw and bmw background and when i saw this car, i got all kinds of ideas.

i liked the lip, the thick spokes, the color, and the offset and thought they would look great once i finish getting the rest of the car done. i'm thinking a nice 2 tone and a lip kit a little farther down the line. i love the five axis kit but i want something a little different, so i'll just wait until i find something i like. but this is all a pipe dream right now. one step at a time. for now, it's just a picture in my head.

How much did you pay?

randomsuper

$640 for the wheels, $280 for tires, $70 for locks, rings, and mount and balance. this includes tax and shipping and all that good stuff.

xb2

sounds like a good deal.

$70 per tire? What did you put on?

randomsuper

nexen n3000 225/40. they're ok. much better than stock but not great as far as performance tires go. i'd recommend them as a good tire if you're on a budget. i just wanted something with good tread wear and decent performance, so these fit the bill for me.

bBlover

shoulda got Falken Ziexs.

Delco

sweet wheels

randomsuper

well, if these suck, i might switch em out once i burn them a little. i rode them today in the rain and they were great so as of right now i don't really have any complaints. i can't justify spending a lot more cash on a performance tire when i rarely even take the car above 60. i do 85 percent of my driving in the city and rarely take the highway or anything so these should be fine.

I'm excited to see pics once these are on
