Both are great wheels. I don't know where you heard about running spacers with Work wheels, I have them and I don't have spacers. I even tried it on my friends car that have brembos, and they cleared, of course with the right offset. Here's a picture of mine:

Thanks for the compliment Binar. Yes, my VS-XX are silver, and the car is dropped 1" all around. The wheel size are:

Front = 19 x 9.5
Rears = 19 x 10.5

You're the first one to notice that the rivets on my VS-XX are black. Yes, I had to specially order the wheels to come with black rivets. The finish of the wheels is silver.

Thumbs up

Well I ordered the VS-XX last night. I went with 19", 9.0 f and 10.5 r. I want 245 on front and 275 on back and I don't want the tires to looked stretched. So, I can't wait!!!! He said 6 weeks, so that should be good timing for the upcoming spring weather! Thanks again for the input and special props to 1gig for posting his pic. That was the clincher!

^ did you go with aggressive HOTT offsets, or did you just get regular small labia offsets?

Goodluck.

Just my opinion: If you don't plan to drop your car, stock rims looks the best, or your car will just look like a 4x4 with after market rims. Seriously, if you don't plan on dropping your car, just save your money and do some performance upgrade to your car.

Looks like I will have time to contemplate your suggestion. Some personal stuff happened last night and everything is on hold.
