Cheapo knockoff chrome wheels? That's a negative.

I vote no. It's not that it's chrome, but I personally don't like the design.

+1 on this selection and if you watch the marketplace, someone will most likely be posting a set for sale.

If you're on a tight budget, you might want to look into ones like the 5Zigen SC3000 & Enkei LX-M.

+1

Or even Axis Pentas, perhaps? They look similar to the ones the OP posted, just not chrome.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of chrome either. Chrome-type finish is great, like fully polished, or something like SBC or RMC.

There's nothing wrong with having "sport racing wheels" on an automatic.

Do you know how many people on these boards have that combo?

If you love the VS-XX's that much, go for it! Don't let your transmission dictate what kind of wheels you choose for the car.

VS-XX's aren't even racing wheels, they are Work's blingy VIP style wheels, Look at all the lexus gs/ls's that run them. I don't see how putting on a wheel that is essentially a VS-XX copy is any different in terms of the look anyways
