Which of these 2 wheels to get ?
 
I've narrowed down my search to only 2 sets of wheels and I can't really decide so I wanted to check in with the local community and the guys I'll be seeing at meets and hanging out with to get your opinions. The wheels will be going on a white G coupe.


Now below we have two sets of wheels in the same exact specs (sizes, offsets) I would be getting.


First choice is burning black with polished lip, and I would have the rivets painted burning black as well for a cleaner look.

Work VS XX

Second choice is much more fitting to the car and would complete my black and white theme. I would get this same exact setup except I would have a white time attack vinyl strip on the wheels.

Work T1S (step lip)

so there it is, tough choice since I love how burning black looks on a white car, but step lips give me a boner.....so yea opinions please, and thanks for helping guys.

Work vs-xx
Not a huge fan of the stepped lips, it makes the wheel look smaller than it actually is

kchan 07-14-2009 02:52 PM

WORKS VS-XX :D

ELITE_TRAYUNZE 07-14-2009 02:57 PM

Easy Work VS XX

CorneringArtist 07-14-2009 03:08 PM

VS XX all the way. It looks way more aggressive than the Works.

spenny 07-14-2009 03:18 PM

I like the T1S.

greendb7 07-14-2009 03:35 PM

asian_speedster 07-14-2009 03:47 PM

Work VS XX for sure!

jakz0rz 07-14-2009 03:48 PM

WORK VS-XX

LsquareD 07-14-2009 05:09 PM

They both look hot as hell. But i'm leaning more towards the Work VS XX

G-spec 07-14-2009 05:15 PM

yea most people are suggesting the VS XX's cuz it's a safe bet and everyone seems to like the style.
And the T1S step lip is a lot more rare and you don't see it around much, so doing something a bit different than everyone else can also be a good thing.
95% of the responses on this and other forums have been for the VS XX's, I'm definitely leaning towards them, and I've listed the pros and cons backing up the logic behind it as well..



VS-XX (all pros, no cons)
- massive lips, 4.5 inches front and 5.5 inches rear
- burning black face looks awesome on white car, chrome/polished lip makes it pop
- you can see the design of the wheel a lot easier as opposed to all black where you really have to look closely so everyone would know right away what it is even at a glance which isn't the case with the black T1S


T1S (1 con and it kinda bugs me)
- step lip makes the stance look more aggressive
- this setup would complete my car's black and white theme
- all black wheels at a glance look like steelies or cheap and knockoff, you really have to look closely to see the shape and know what type of wheel it is,

CanadaGoose 07-14-2009 05:22 PM

I don't think people are going to mistaken T1S as steelies or knockoff when you're rolling around in that snow white paintjob of yours. Their subtlety and the fact you have to look twice makes them better


*edit*

i would see your last point about the VS-XX as a con. most people are already so used to seeing that kind of wheel

only my opinion

Alphamale 07-14-2009 05:27 PM

Don't be a tool. Go for T1S, original. It looks tight. You can tell the majority of the people on this form are just trend whores.

If you want VS-XX, do it right and get BBS, it'll make a world of difference and you'll be more baller than having some play-out JDM wheel on your car. T1S, don't think about it anymore not to mention it matches your car's stance well.
