Im looking into getting the VIP status Furious wheels in 19''. Called the shop today and the guy suggested to go with 18's saying they'll be a perfect fit...regardless i think 18's will be a lil too small?

He told me that these wheels have an aggressive appeal as in they will stick out of the fenders and suggested that i could either roll the fenders or leave it...also he was suggesting that i don't go with the staggered setup, something to do with compromising my handling since the back will be gripping more.

19x8.5 40 offset
19x9.5 45 offset

these are the two different sizes he gave me....anyone have any opinions...heres a picture of the wheels....also if anyone has a similar setup...can you show me some pics and let me know how you feel....

 

bot really feeling the wheels but it depends on the color of the car

 

its a black tl

 

those would look good I think on a black TL now that I took my time to see the wheels

 

yea they wuld look good

 

Do it man-get the wheels. They'll look good on your black TL. I can't give you good input on sizing-trust your gut and your first instict.

They look like the Work Varianza T1S. That is VIP wheels.

 

Those wheels don't have the VIP appeal in my opinion...

Are they multi-piece??? can you get any offset you want???

 

any idea on how the offset is gonna make it look? am i gonna have rubbing issues and are the tires going to be sticking out of the fender?

 

I had so much expectation going into this thread...

 

You should have no issues, those offsets are not aggressive at all.

 

I thought you were gonna post some baller wheels keke

 

those aren't baller. Save up more $. Take it from someone who has wasted alot of money on worthless setups only to sell them for huge losses because I hated it.

 

lol i know what u mean, thats why i just clicked on the thread

 

They look great, and would look awesome if the allen screws were black also.

 

Dude dont pay attention to these wanna b credit card/credit ballers. The wheels look hot u dont always have to drop a shit load of money on wheels, all u need is the rite looking wheel/suspension set up. I think if u get a low enough drop they should look sick......... My boy ryan got the same exact wheels on his nbp tl he paid $700 on ebay with 35 ofset and they do not stick out. Hes riding on tein springs 1.2 inch drop i would suggest to go a bit lower as he is gonna do aswell. tThey staggered rims look better on acar with an aggressive drop.

 

Cheap looking rims look cheap with any drop...

 

^

 

if you gonna go cheap.... atleast make it something hot

19x9.5 +45 ALL AROUND with 255/30-19

This is how VIP should be done.

 

^ but does it have curtains?

 

im sure it does plus the neck pillow and the tissuse box.

 

Go for it man!~
I'm getting VIP Status Ferocious =D
No money at the moment though =[

So people do not get confused "VIP STATUS" is the name of the company. Some of their wheels do not convey "VIP" but some do look nice.
Fun fact:
VIP STATUS wheels is a Canadian company.

I've seen their rims in person.
Vicious and Ferocious look the best, imo.
Sadly "Vicious" runs a 5x120 and 5x112 I think.

 

question, but what is "staggered " mean and what is "rolling fenders"

 

bump for answer

 

staggered means when the rear wheels are wider than the fronts typically done to rear wheel drive cars to achieve more traction. its done to front wheel drive cars but it serves no purpose its purely for looks.

rolling fenders means when you literally roll the inside of the fender as to not let the tires or rims rub the inside of fender. this usually happens when people buy rims that are to wide for the car or has a really low offset. ive had this done to my cl.

 

thanks for the help diddy, that's what I thought rolling fenders was I just double checking.

 

IMO, in the end, it's around the same amount of money lost with more expensive rims or cheap rims. More high end rims retain value A LOT better than other shabbier rims, but there's always a market for used high end items as opposed to used low end rims. My .

 

it all loses value as long as it looks good who cares? but if you want to go vip you have to go big or go home so get some staggered 20" and slam it to the ground
