Nice upgrade! I definitely like it! I am sure you will post this soon, but what are the wheel/tire specs? Nicely done :thumbup:

I�m thinking about getting a set of wheels like these. Sorry for the pick size I couldn�t find a link that was smaller.

You have to tell me where you got those wheels. I've been searching high and low for something like that. Forget who it was on the forum, but I saw someone had some black OZ (I think?) wheels that I also liked... but I guess OZ doesn't make those kind of wheels anymore :(

Those are pretty close to what I like, I'm just a weirdo about it and don't want some other car's wheels on mine :rolleyes:. And I'm also a fan of the darker/black wheel colors. But I used the search function :bwgy: and figured out whose wheels I was thinking of-- They were Daver's OZ Chrono's. Turns out jdm monkey was looking for the set too and in this thread. But that thread helped me find a nearly perfect set for me :) .

Now for getting the money to buy these and tires. Anyone ever put the Kumho MT KL71s on a VX?-- they just look sick to me :cool:

If there's enough interest, LIVautosports can host a group buy for konig countersteer wheels. They are 16x8 and +10 offset like mine.
Here are some pics for reference:

Peace.

ive got a great wheel idea...i just dont want anyone to know because im selfish like that....

last time i went blabbing my mouth richie ended up with my dream wheels after we discussed it in moab....(i dont know if you remember talking about it, but i told you my top choice would be rockstar's)....

still love them, but ive found something more suited for my VX's style...

Are you looking for those "Sombrerro" hubcaps from the '50s?
I have a bunch of them from a custom car project I never finished.

I don't know I don't see anything, but then again I can't turn my head to the right angle to actually see these photos anyways. Maybe you should buy a camera tripod next to hold the camera level with the curve of the earth? ;)

Yupe, first the eyes went bad from looking at your mom, and then my back went out from carry her lazy butt up stairs............;ooo;............. LOL, I can't even finish that sentence hahahaha, sorry, but seriously I have seen some tilt for effect in photos before, but wow going through these photos is like going on a rollercoaster......... ;) Just poking fun a little, like I said before nice upgrade jdm monkey, but maybe you should ask for a tripod for Christmas :smilewink

Ryan - I'm suprised - a clean cut all American boy such as yourself - hang your head in shame.

Actually, I'm just suprised that one of us 'old farts' didn't think of it first.

JDM Monkey I was just funning with you man, I like your photos and your tire/wheel combo is awesome, where did your photos go? Sorry if I offended you about the photos sorry just trying to joke around a little no offense intended at all :)

That NSX is awesome man! Always has been one of my favorite looking sports cars. Growing up as a kid there was a brain surgeon down the street from us that had one exactly like yours and everytime it drove by I would run inside to my mom and tell here I saw the ferrari again, lol :) Ah don't you love those innocent days.

Hey JDMMonkey, count me in on the countersteer group buy :D

Haven't talked to you in a while btw.

I talked to konig and they require 40 sets min. to run a special order for the vehicross wheels. We can make it happen if everybody is serious about ordering. You guys can pick any konig wheels you want and they'll make it compatible with the VX.
