When it's something as simple as the correct term for something, yes I do have issues. By the way, I hate the words 'bling bling' and 'hella'.

The VS-XX is definitely a nice wheel. I think VS-KFs in Burning black are a little more exclusive though

(It definitely takes a special kind of owner to run those).

That's the problem for the GT-R. Work Meister S1 2 piece or VS-KF in burning black. It would be no question if the VS-KFs came in a 17 (which is discontinued), and now only come in 18s. I was hoping to do 17s (Meister) and go lower instead. I will know on friday once i measure up the car, what fits.

Definitely agree, the vs-xx are played out, but for obvious reasons. I LOVE the vs-kf wheels, but have never seen a car that was able to pull them off.

The meister wheels are beautiful too, similar to the ssr's, very popular with the 350z crowd.

You may see one soon

If i do meisters, i am guaranteed going to take advantage of work's custom order program.

They can paint the disks in any color.

1st.... We need to ban -CON- He annoys the hell out of me.

2nd.... I like to believe this... the rim is the metal center piece. The tire is the rubber surounding the rim. And the WHEEL is the whole thing... tire and rim.
Sounds good to me.

3rd.... I think the best RIM in the world are the Volk CE28's! Not in that color though. GROSS.

the rim... is just that... the ******* rim.



EDIT- I wonder if those furai wheels are designed to pull air into the brake rotor for cooling?
