I like the Ls1's you should go with those if you really like them. I mean not everyone has the same modding budget. I hate people that try and hate on you for having "FAKE" wheels, that's BS until they wanna buy you you're $2-4k wheels then fckoff and grow up. I mean I could see someone giving you shiet for posing but that's different as long as you don't try and pass them off as BBS's please lol

I agree with konxeptionz, although I think your mind is pretty made up, if you don't buy the wheels you really want it will always be in the back of your mind.

If one day you decide to sell these wheels and buy the VSXX, you'll be losing out on a lot of money switching parts. That's the one thing I learned about modding, do it right the first way and I guarantee it will save you money in the end, not to mention you will be much happier with your decision.

It looks good! I like the gunmetal finish on the face.

The width in the front is smaller then what I would wanna get, but it still works fine. 19x10 in the rear is perfect! Gives you that fat wheel look in the back... makes it look mean.

I'm glad you're happy with what you picked out! What did your offsets end up being?

Hey Houston has bad roads too, and I'm still dropped.

Don't go with a fatter tire, keep it as it is. With offsets in 20 in the rear, throw on like a 10mm spacer and you should be pretty good. Not hellaflush, but at least flush enough so it won't look tucked at all. As for the front, throw on a 15mm in the front to be at an even 0. With your 8.5 wide rim in the front, you won't be completely flush either, but pretty close.
