Yea I really wanna do some staggered wheels to get the full VIP look! But i'm trying to save for a house and other stuff so spending a few thousand for wheels is out of the question!

Well the other one was a online magazine called elitestreetz.com and it was a readers ride but I got a whole page. Which I was very excited for also! But this (RIX Magazine) is my first actual real magazine and I am sooo happy to be able to get featured. Like I said earlier it make all the money and hard work worth it!!

Here is a pic of that online mag...

Beautiful ride. Do not take this as non-constructive criticism, because it is just an opinion I hold:

Chrome is played out pretty far. If you notice the VIP and VIP-styled cars out there, they are working with machined, silvers, and other good-looking colors with either lips, or concave facing. Changing the shoes, as you know, changes the look entirely... so this car is just one c-hair away from dream perfection IMO.

Granted our FWD cars can't pull off true VIP and maybe we shouldn't try, but VIP-Styled is something to strive for. And given you like the look of a well-tucked wheel, I'm sure there's something out there with a nice lace or spoke that could really set this thing off.

GL to ya.

Thanks! Yea I know don't get me wrong I do like my wheels but would love for a nice set of staggered wheels to pull of the full VIP look! Remember when I started to build my car 5 years ago VIP wasn't as big as it is now and chrome was in so that's why I got my wheels. When I did all the mods to my car I just wanted the car to look as clean and as classy as possible which turns out to be the VIP look minus my wheels. I love the VIP look I think some of the cars done right are soo beautiful and that's why I want to get the wheels, maybe curtains and a roof spoiler to. But for now like I said I just don't have the money to spend for new wheels so maybe sometime in the future...

Well there ya go!

I'm a big fan of Linea Corse, for inexpensive yet really nice wheels. The Dyna might look really hot on your ride, with the right fitment.

Yea the dyna are nice but I'm a big fan of 5 star wheels. Do you know any other wheels that are inexpensive that you can list for me? I really wanna do 20s. I just like how they look on my car plus I can use my tires and save money.

I really would love to do the Kartier Forged Alcantara.. But def too much $$
