VIP RG2s on a '10 CWP?

[GWN]

Alright so I'm getting some new rims / tires for my CWP 2010 GT :)

Any thoughts on if the VIP Status RG2s would look good?
Also, I'll be painting my calipers red soon as well :)

here's the rim:

The red in the rims would make it look a little off. This wheel would work better on a red or maybe black car imo.

[GWN]

That's what I'm thinking now too :( At first I was so set on them and I thought they'd look amazing, but now I'm on the fence lol

Don't worry about it. When you decide, make sure it's the style you really really want. Do it right the first time! (until you change them a couple years later lol)

[GWN]

Haha yeah. Thanks! I'll settle on something soon, and these aren't entirely out of the running yet :) we'll see how it goes

lol somehow it seems like every even if you do it as right as you can the first time, sooner or later you get bored of em and change :P

but i think thsoe wheels would look gd on your white hatch. add a bit of black on it (ie black roof) and it'll look sharp.



oh and its tradiition so I have to say it:


LOWER IT !!

[aris]

I think it will look nice on your car

[iGOzoom]

those rims would look really good and would definitely stand out

[vcp]

I think those wheels could look pretty sweet as well!

[Soyabean]

Im with mistachin here, im not sure how those specific wheels might look on a white car.

[GWN]

thanks everyone, I've decided to give it a shot and go with them :) we'll see how it turns out, but I'm hoping they work! And yeah I'm thinking I'll get a black roof at some point, and definitely lowering. I might pick up some pro kits at the same time as these wheels, but I'm also curious to hear what kind of springs you all think I should go with? Any information is useful (past experience, number value, etc), thanks!

[Tokic_o]

I don't see how those wheels wouldnt "work" with a white hatch

the red accents aren't too much and black works on almost every colour car. lol

good luck

I get what you mean. Black does work and on most white cars, the white and black combo fit really well. Im not really sure how to explain how I feel but i just have a gut feeling that it may not flow as well with the white car like how your Work wheels look. I like your rims btw tokic

lol now I'm very interested in seeing GWN's car with these wheels on and lowered

btw, I don't have Work wheels anymore, maybe you have the wrong hatch : )

[GWN]

haha yeah if all goes well wheels and springs come on tmrw =D pics will be up soon

[SKYMP3]

I don't think it match well neither.

[GWN]

Alright, the rims are mounted and the car's dropped on prokits. I'll post some pics tmrw if its nice out, but man I couldn't be happier :) Thanks to peter from nextmod and everyone at APH for the awesome hookup!

[GWN]

Dont forget to get your calipers painted red to finish the look.

[GWN]

Absolutely, gettin the caliper paint kit from nextmod sometime this week :D

[Tokic_o]

Loooks good, go lowaaaa !!


I TOLD YOU SO : )

[Nextmod]

you need to come by so we can take better pictures for you lol

[Scottobot]

Looks great! Those rims are really hot. I was just at GoForTires and they said the offset of those VIP rims could be a problem for Mazda3's. Did you have to perform any trickery to get them on?

[GWN]

Thanks Tokic! So happy I lowered it, but idk if I could even go any lower than I already am! Damn bumpy roads up here lol

and dualsoul it's just because I'd been planning out my mods since months before I even got the car, so once I actually got the car it was way easier :D

[GWN]

Oh and sorry for yet another double post (pardon my n00bishness)

Thanks tsaotablem, and no from what I heard from the guys at APH they went on pretty easily, and no issues with rubbing as of yet :)

And yeah I'll be back down at Nextmod real soon to get my caliper paint so we can take a few pictures then I think :)

[Nextmod]

Lowered on prokit, with GR2 installed =)
