I picked up an 11 VBP Tech over the winter, and am finally ready to start with some simple modding. I need to keep it fairly conservative for my line of work, and am kinda stuck when it comes to choosing wheels. I'm looking for ideas, and was hoping that some of the regular contributors could chime in.. maybe help build a list of the other blue 2Gs that are out there. I rep a metro area, which means tons of mileage on mostly crappy city/local roads, and am very hesitant on lowering it. Just looking to see who's rollin' around on what, and trying to figure out what will/will not work for my lifestyle and driving conditions. Thanks, guys.

 

if i can roll around like this in los angeles, you can lower your car! also this is how my wheels look just to give you heads up to help you choose.


actually this image is old and i lowered my car more lol.

 

Here is mine Not slammed and only going a little lower after fender work today.

 

If you're looking for a clean simple look; I always liked Maiku's VTB... I was on the same boat as you I am an accounting consultant and needed to keep my car simple and classy... but a drop is necessary check out some springs that will give you an inch drop... if you dont want to drop keep it stock!

His ROnJON rims!!




and his Aspec Rims

 

Hey, thanks guys.. I appreciate you chiming-in and posting those pics. They all look really, really nice.. pride/appreciation of ownership is definitely shining through! I really want to go about this the right way, but have to be practical about it, as well. So, let's say that lowering is out of the question. What am I now (realistically) looking at being able to do size-wise??
Lol... this all started with tint.

 

honestly wheels with out lowering is horrible if you look through my build tread you can see mine before i lowered it hence why im running meaty tires the gap was very bad looking.

 

Thanks, odus. I checked out your build thread, and yeah- I know you're what you're sayin'. I just can't help but being a bit paranoid when I think of lowering, especially with our shitty roads, and the amount of mileage I put on. Something to think about, I guess. Btw.. looking good.

I have my car this low and i put over 200 miles on my car a week...Its a 2009 that i got brand new and it has 75000 miles on it...this is the perfect height because i am not worried about pot holes and its low.......th tires are 19x10.5

 

 

OMG.. So i just got my '12 VBP Tsx yesterday and wow! After seeing you guys! Im loving this car and color even more! Don't worry ! Vortexbluetsx and SlickxAc im gonna bring the heat... Later haha! Gotta pay her off a little first!


My untouched Tsx! Soon to be slammed and stanced !

 

haha good luck keeping up! My front sits about 3 1/2inches off the floor atm, thats with no lip/aerobumper.

 

best VBP hands down this car is just perfect and I don't like ronjon wheels but they look just right on this car

 

Maiku's is the best VBP hands down like mentioned above I like the simple look,I don't like ronjon wheels but they look good on his car

 

Nice car man! hahahah its no competition man, just have fun modding your car! I am in no competition with anyone, and you shouldn't be either

GLM rules VBP drools

 

Vbp is the way to go. Color is sick.

 

Gawd.. these are gorgeous. Anybody know of any quality look-a-likes?? I just hate the fact that these are only available through one source. Thanks.

 

Maiku is actually selling those type rims hold up!!

Love connecting people together since Im always trolling the black market

 

Hey, thanks for the thought, apin. Unfortunately, Maiku's wheels are a little bigger than the Lineas that I posted. I was originally thinking of going with something closer to what Odus is rolling, then saw those Corse Lemans and fell in love. As soon as I mention that, I go back and look at O's pics again, and now me so confused lol...

 

what size are you thinking of getting?

 

Going with 18's. Would like to go a bit bigger (for aesthetics), but I drive way too much. Saw some Enkeis that were kinda close to the Lineas, but they didn't have that little "something-special" that I got from those Corse Lemans. Love what you're running, too.. really nice look.

 

i think my 18's look fine for aesthetics lol

 

Lol.. thought you had 19's. Your Works are a bit more than I was looking to spend, but look really sweet.

 

18's ftw lol, but you gotta be pretty low to make 18's look good imo.

 

Omg.. Drooling over some of the cars!! Wow.. Excited about my VBP! Guys what do you think about 18's with tein coilovers ? Good combo? Im not lookin to be slammed just. I HATE THE WHELL GAP!!!

 

I have 19s and think its the perfect size...I lowered it enough to be considered low and I can drive everyday RayBarb...I got 75k on my car and counting and i bought it brand new

 

Damn I had no idea of my double post lol slow ass pc FTL

 

20s are not bad....even though some people argue it's too big... =P but of course thats IMO....

 

OP my wheels are linea corse and have been amazing and there super light compared to the stock 17's. bmw guys and lexus guys usually run the linea wheels and have not had any problems. I have had mine for little over half a year and still love them.

 

Wow.. decisions, decisions lol. I really appreciate the feedback, too. I drive 28k-36k a year (all city/local), so 19's have never even been a thought. Then I start hanging around here, and now I'm trying to justify it lol. Seriously, though.. I'll probably end up with the 18's, but Odus' wheels are more my style. I'm taking my time, as Spring has been slow to arrive. Getting anxious, though...

 

if you want the legit version, its Work Varianza T1s lol.

 

if he wants the legit Varinzias hes going to have to find someone willing to give them up hate that work isn't selling them anymore.I wanted Real ones in 9.5 instead of 8.5

 

you can always relip

 

i might try and score a set of varinzias but i might go SSR for my next set!!!!

 

im definitely getting work equips next. but i needa finish with my kit and all the other junk first.

 

Anybody have any history with Privat Rivales? I like the look, which Has been tough to find in 18's within the brands/price range I'm sticking with.

 

personally i don't like privat, ive heard horror stories from them breaking.

 

Any thoughts on TSW?.. Not trying to be a dipshit (going back and forth), lol you guys have been there before, right?.. lol

 

you won't like the tsw. they dont look that good in person.
