99.9% of the time, they consist of custom widths and offsets, that at THE LEAST requires fender rolling and camber. Also, minimum 3" drop depending on the wheel fitment.dancar420 said:

You need to contact JDMJim on here. He is one of the front runners for the VIP style boxes. And he's got a sweet ass ride to boot.

Amen Rico. VIP= Low offset, wide width, slammed stance! Thats the basics. The wheel design will play in later, (because some are just too sporty, even in right fitment for VIP style). Full face wheels seem to exemplify VIP style to me too. Start looking for something 8.5 inch wide thats a 17 or 18, with around 20 offset. Something around there will be best.

Its all good Tim, no worries! 
Check out Work, SSR, Weds, AMEs, Estatus, Fabulous and some upper name brands like that. Youll find quality in 2/3 piece rims. Sportmax/Axis wont cut it probably. With VIP, most people over look price and just want the look. What most people realize is that to hit the stance, you're probably gonna be spending 450-600 PER WHEEL. Thats the price of most sets of sportmax rims, if not cheaper. You really do have to pay to play.
I know you think Im crazy and dont know whatever. Its all about the quality level though too. Find someone with a set of Euroline DHs and ahve them park next to someone with Sportmax 006s. Sportmax are great rims for the price and look good, but when you throw them up against a set of DHs, youll see its night and day. Im not meaning to offend anyone, but theres a huge difference when you look closely. From 20 feet away, they may be similar, but theres a big difference if you're 5 feet or closer away. Trust me, and if you dont, try it out!
PM me if you have any questions or anything.

IMHO, Axis/Sportmax dont hit the look. VIP is all about high end, high quality, and great fitment. Neither Axis/Sportmax could you choose the real correct offset. It also doesnt help that these are one piece wheels with "fake lips".dancar420 said:

thats what I figured I would need to pay but I cant seem to decide its killing me I want them now. I fell in love with the euroline FS thats the one I really want but dont know were else that sells them besides memoryfab. Thanks for the brands if you have any websites can you shoot them my way I would appreciate it very much thanks. I want to do it right I want them to look good with the noblesse kit I am going to order

Check out Autornd and Autofashion. Theyll both be able to get them for ya. Only problem with FS's are the price too lol. For 18x8.5 theyll be $510 per wheel before shipping.
Also with the Noblesse kit, are you going through Van and gettin the legit one, or getting the knockoff coming out?

Ah sorry didnt know. I know a lot of people are really itching to get that kit. Should be interesting to see how many are gonna be running around.
Those Weds are damn nice. Agreed with bb05, they could be hella hot if done with right fitment. Theyre spokey like the Seekers which are one of my favs!
I would say no on the AMEs, theyre WAY too sport looking. Look at Shallen CXs LX, or ones like that. Dish style.
Those DHs would be nice to get for ya! Good price too. Check that shiz out! Good fit and everything. A lot of people may have them, but theyre still hella nice and are better fitting than 99% of wheels for xBs.
