Those wheels are going to look hella fresh with that extra 1/2" drop. Looking forward to the weekend and new pics with the tires mounted on the car.

Thanks man. I really wanted this cap, but they only fit the 20” VS.

I’m considering one or two others because I wanted to do something different, but they are so overpriced. I may end up just using the originals for now.[/QUOTE]
That's too bad... I like this cap tho, especially in red w/ ur car. Can't you special-order them?

I was gonna ask you what motivated you to go w/ Works VS-XX, but you certainly answered my question. Good choice for your tires btw.

3 more days 'til Sat. :)

They look so good paired with the san marino red.

Thanks for the support guys. Makes you even more excited to have other people excited for you haha.

No I called them before to ask if they had or could make any in my size, but they said no. I'm not sure if I could take the caps apart and swap the current base for the new cap, but I don't want to ruin a set of caps. I'm just gonna let it go.

My motivation wasn't money-based. I mean that's important, but with this being my first set of legit wheels I wanted to do it for the right reasons. I have just always loved mesh style wheels, which I call "tuning fork" or "motorsport" style. It was going to either be VS-XX or BBS LM's, and I found these first and for a great price.

I like the stepped lip of the LM's, but I also don't think they would have cleared my BBK in the specs I want as they are mostly flat faced, whereas the VS-XX are curved sorta.

Damn Chris, I can't wait to see them mounted with tires..! I also had those two sets in mind, but in a bit more aggressive specs.

Can't wait to see them on with tires and everything. Those red center caps would have really added a nice touch, but they look amazing regardless!

I see. That's a risk you don't wanna take.

That's fair enough. (I still think all of your previous rims were all quality ones tho.) Yeah, I remember you used to have the RH Evolution mesh back then. I thought you were a fan of spoke rims, but I remember now. BBS for real??. ← (Man, we could be bros! Just sayin' lol.)

But honestly speaking, (regardless of your bbk's clearance) I prefer the design of VS-XX over LM's on our coupes. The LM's stepped lip looks firm yet elegant, but the lip seems a bit thicker than XX's. (Meaning that its thickness makes the LM's look smaller than XX's in terms of the wheel diameter.) Plus, the placements of those wheel bolts on XX's are a lot sexier (sportier) than LM's. LM's are nice b/c they're time-honored wheels that they pretty much suite almost anybody's eyes / any style of cars imo. But like I said, XX's are pure sex!

1 more day 'til Saturday~~.

The red VS caps woudl have been nice, that's too bad.

I am sure there are other options, but obviously, you don't want to have anything that is not worthy of finishing the wheels off properly.
