Calypso and gold would really stand out, but if you're not particular to gold, go with silver.

Nice username, made me laugh. And made me hungry.

Actually I changed to Work VS-XX and finally I ordered Forgeline MD3P

I ordered them in Silver with the polished lip. But now I am thinking I should have ordered them in the gun metal finish. My car is burgundy (calypso red)

Which one do you guys think is nicer on a burgundy car?

NO Chrome! Why 18s? Get some mega dish BBS RS

Gold and red are awesome. Do it.

[fretburnr]

go polished if you want shiny. chrome looks (and is) heavy.

Personally I'd stick with silver too.

+1 no chrome!!

[passdanachos]

Really? I just don't know why all lot of people hate chrome. All my local guys are telling me to go silver paint too. But man, I always had chrome wheels!

OK great. Talked to the supplier and it looks like the Varianza cannot fit my car with the BBK and they do not make 4x100 in chrome. So now I am going with my second choice. I am thinking of the VS-XX in either the silver finish with polished lip or full chrome. Not sure yet and will decide by the end of the week.

What is the common thing nowadays? Going full chrome or silver paint with polish lip. I am leaning to chrome, but I still like the painted finish. The gold is out of the question cause the car is calyspso red (burgundy).

Comments? Full Chrome or Silver?

So I finally got off my butt and over to the bodyshop and physically measured the clearances. It seems in the rear, using a 17x7.5 et20 rim as a guide, I still have an additional 40mm clearance from the edge of the rim to the rear shock tower and about 10-15 mm space from the rim to the front edge of the fender, but I have to flatten the lip. I figure an 18x9 et22 will protrude an additional 17mm from the 17x7.5 rim, which would be too much. So Jay (Mystikal) is right. An 18x9 et25 will extend an additional 14mm from the 17x7.5 rim which, in theory, if I flatten and possibly widen the rear fender lip, it will fit. Barely.

The front however, seems that the 18x8 et22 will fit as long as I flatten the fender lip and there is still a small amount of room. When I measure the clearance using the 17x7.5 et20 as a guide, there is about an additonal 7-8mm of additonal room. So an 18x8 et22 will extend 4mm more than the 17x7.5 et20 rim, and thus should fit and give me a few mm of breathing room.

So I am ordering a 18x8 et22 fronts and 18x9 et25 for the rear. Fingers crossed and pictures to come when they arrive.

Comments? Anyone?
