VS-XX gets my vote. If you pick number 2, leave Azine.

If you want something totally different that nobody has, you're going to have to keep searching then. People already have options 1 and 3. Nobody has #2 though, but there's probably a reason why, THEY ARE HIDEOUS

I think he just didn't like being told he wasn't welcome on a car forum because of an unpopular wheel choice.

Can't go wrong with VS-XX's but they've been done many times. I never got the concept of not getting wheels just cause someone else has em though...there's only ONE your car.

Two overplayed wheels and one downright hideous wheel in a terrible color

And why is your license plate bent and mounted on the bumper? Tacky and unattractive

yea it was just the concept of the fact that if you tell someone to leave the fourm because of there wheels choice is pretty bad, but yea i like the lm's more than the vs's but i think im goin with #2 just because i can get them for under 500 with tires and adapters. they are polish they just look good from the picture i took it from was on sunset. i know you guys are going to be all pissy but its different so have fun talkin shit

i dont think it was his personal opinion (correct me if im wrong Austin) but he was trying to mainly help you out becuase you are going to get hard core if you put corvette wheels on your car. If you want to have early 90's corvette wheels, buy an early 90's corvette. This is a luxury car. Plain and simple.

well don't stoop...prove them wrong and post up nice pictures of it. hard to argue with 500 dollar wheels/tires. that's basically the wheels being free. and if different was what you're going for, that's the very least of what those will be.

I'm sure I can get a set of spinners for cheap too, but that doesn't mean I'm going to buy them

Also, from what I can find, the Corvette wheels are 5x120 and the offset is a weak +56. You'll need to run some fat adapters for them to fit and look proper. Your car will need to be a lot lower too.

not really what i was expecting you all to say, and yea the adapters that im getting are 2 inches which is 50mm so it should give me about a 6mm offset yes this will look nothing like any tl out there aggressive offset\camber. also these wheels are only for this season so i can save up and get some bbs or works or some modular some baller wheels

Thanks for the advice Aaron...next time I feel bad about myself. I'm NOT coming to talk to you. My blood would be on your hands...then you'll have to deal with my mother. And that's not fun for anyone.

PS...you already know I dig your purple paintjob, you prick. About the Vette wheels...if you take the cost of adapters into account, this may not be the route you want to go. Think about some Varstoens or XXR's...they make many models, some of which aren't played out yet and probably won't cost you MUCH more than the 500 plus 300 in adapters.
