starionesi-r Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Needs wider tires. The tires don't fit those rims good at all. The lip on the rims is hot though ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SidewaysStar Posted December 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Needs wider tires. The tires don't fit those rims good at all. ... ??? Umm, yeah its called the V.I.P. look in Japan. Its slowly catching on over here, so thats why a lot of people think it looks funny, its supposed to be stretched...c'mon. About more pics, I would have loved to take some, but a guy just bought them off me today for $2,300 for his JZA80! So yeah, untill the next shipment comes in, (end of Jan.) I will have so settle for my polished 7 & 8's. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMeyerhoff Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Umm, yeah its called the V.I.P. look in Japan. I always thought of it as the "I got a deal on used rims that dont fit my car" look. Â Do people really go into a tire shop and order rims that don't fit? mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stquesTSi Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 i kinda like that "vip" look. the rims look awesum in the first pic. but just too much chrome for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FontanaTSI Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 I like the wheels, but, I tghought the VIP thing was only for big sedans like the Nissan Cedric or Gloria, etc... I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFBMX88 Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Can you say rub? Man did those rub your fenders there? You should get camber plates all the way around and slam the camber all the way negative!!! Straight VIP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quest925 Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Bling bling not for me, but I like how the rear looks. The front sticks out too far for my tastes, but I love seeing different rims on our cars no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PearlQuest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 I kinda like it. i'd like to see some side pics of it though. looks pretty cool. the VIP look kinda reminds me of the slicks on my race kart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kougar Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 I don't really like it :-/ The "VIP look" looks like crap to me, but it seems as though quite a few people like it. Wherever your tastes lead ya, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLOWSTARIONTC05 Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 FYI...... Putting skinny tires on rims that are wider than the suggested rim width isn't really a "look". It's done for a reason. If you stretch the sidewall out as much as possible, you have no sidewall that needs to roll over, I.E. RAZOR sharp turn-in. Drifters like this for a number of reasons... On a street car, with real-world pot holes and curbs....I wouldn't do it, it's dangerous, tire widths have reccomended rim widths for a reason.

Richie_Rich Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I like good looking wheels, but I don't like rims that stick past the tire or outside the fender. I seen plenty of that in Chicago 10 years ago. 1/2 the susuki sidekicks I seen had wheels and tires mostly outside the fender. I guess I'm closer to Mike's "good deal.." thought.

T_sandman Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 I can't even see the rims. And the mounts are just hideous! I would like to see the rims, Take pics from the side next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 18*13.5® ??? unless you have relocated the rear struts, it is physically impossible to fit wheels larger than 11" wide in the back unless they stick out of the fender and they don't look like they are sticking out in the back.

shift1313 Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Like everyone said its hard to tell from the pic but i think it looks nice. slowstarion has it right about the tires. but its only good for drifting. you dont want side wall flex on a drift car so you can break the tires loose easy and they dont roll over when you put some Gs on them. on a street car or a car you want to handle, especially with wider tires you need that side wall flex. think of your tire just like your differential. when you go around a turn your outside tire is spinning faster then your inside tire. same thing happens on your tire only its done with deflection. the outter part of your tire is going faster then the inner part of your tire. This is why your tires squeal. suspension is designed with this in mind. This is why you have quicker steering with a thinner tire up front because you have the tire deflection to account for.

patra_is_here Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 I wouldn't have em stick out on my street car, but i think it looks cool none the less and I'm glad to see people modding their car's to their personal tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarQuestor Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Not necesarily a bad look. Maybe if they werent chrome. Would definately have to invest in some curb feelers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekstatixx Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 yeah i think the rims would be nice if not chromed also. the strecthed tires is a big euro thing also. was heard it was good for drifting. tire roll and what not. i know nothing about it though. i think it looks strange. but another very deep deep deep dish rim my favorite rim is the work s1c termistthe back rim is dished as long as a sharpie marker. like 6 inch dish 17 x 11.5 rears i beleive. some day when i have a fully built car, i will worry about PRETTY rims ill look for a pic though. they are sick here some pics on a 240 java script:ShowImage('http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/show_image.pl?fg=FF3333&bg=000000&migration=1&image=http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/5/web/761000-761999/761270_75_full.jpg', 575, 490); java script:ShowImage('http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/show_image.pl?fg=FF3333&bg=000000&migration=1&image=http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/5/web/761000-761999/761270_13_full.jpg', 575, 418); heres another 240 with a nice angle http://driftunit.com/photos/photoshoot/jer...s/370_7015.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
