either one is higly bada.ss imho. WORK PWNS period. both are spectacular. you know the skyline pic you posted are the 2pc. models right? the 3pc. have rivets in them. i'd go with either. if you got brembo's i wouldn't get the VS-XX because of the PITA to clean them.

no i have an AT. i heard the vs-xx dont clear BBK .. i cant decide between the 2 but im going with 19" and im a little worried the meister might look small on my G. but im really starting to like those since they look a little more sporty than the vs-xx .. im going with +19 up front and +17rears on both wheels. For the meisters i'll go with the chrome finish and with the vs-xx im going with silver /polished lip and black rivets . I couldnt find a 3pc with the finish on the 2 pc

those offsets will give you nice labia's. the meister will look small if you install "swamper" tires. e.g. 285 up. if you're running a 10"/10.5" rim, i'd stretch a 255/35 265/35 or 275/30 on there. however, you'll need to get rid of the tire gap. the VS-XX will clear with the correct offset. just have to specify with Work.

good luck, be patient, and post pics ASA you get them in!

hmm, shouldn't look too bad with the 275/35. what brand tires are you planning to run?

awesome. i think the 275/30 T1R's would be better for looks. it will still have if not the same, better performance than the 275/35's because of the flexing. but, to each their own. rims with nice labias should be seen from all angles imo! Toyo tires are superb, but meaty. Good Luck again yo.

i like how the lip stands out more but it looks really stretched.. doesnt that increase the chance of bending a rim if you hit a pot hole?

nah, it aint really stretched at all. the edge of the tire is flush with the edge of the rim. it does increase teh chance of bending a rim, but i'm not on Tenzo's!! i'm not saying no rim bends because all rims do, but i'm using a rim with quality! you should be fine with the Works because imho, they're better quality than Rays/Volk's. also, if i see potholes, i avoid them any way possible.
