Vanity Is Clouding My Judgement........please help !!!!

i prefer the stock look

You must be kidding? Wow, that is like the kid who wants to always stay in the kiddie pool when the grand rapids are waiting right there

Just remember, when you travel you’re not only representing your self but all of VX kind. So dress accordingly!

EXACTLY Make us all proud!

I thought the same thing when I bought my new rims and tires. I kept my stock wheels and thought to myself, "I'll put the stock rims and street tires on for daily use". Nope. Once I saw the Teflon Chambers and new rubber I knew I could never look back.

Sell your stock rims and tires. You're never gonna use em!

Yes that is why I sold my stockers as soon as I could. Oh and I know a mechanic down the street who I have never had a problem passing the VX for inspection sticker, I just keep it clean and pretty, lol.

Definitely leave your mudders on and sell the stock stuff to save up for another set of mudders

Does Batman ALWAYS wear his cape and mask?
Does Superman ALWAYS wear his tights and shield?

There is a reason superheros blend in most of the time...think about it.

Well yah but...

Superheros are imaginary, these are real life & death STYLE issues we're talkin' here...

Really mileage depends on the wheels... rotational mass, not diameter.

My 20X8.5" wheels Weigh a ton!! Therefore my mileage suffers greatly And my scanguage corrects the Speedo for me.

I would say tires and wheels make a huge difference. Maybe not so much on highway driving, but for normal stop and go, you talk about adding a 33" AT or MT tire, thats an extra 20-30 lbs per tire plus the unsprung weight. That is part of the reason that I have the AT2s, they weigh somewhere around 44lbs, which is almost exactly the same as the factory tire, but I put an extra couple of inches of rubber on the road. I would imagine that the roof rack kills mpg as well. That little 3.5L just isn't enough for a heavyweight VX. I didn't realize that the curb weight is close 5K lbs.

umm....superman doesnt carry a shield...

are you thinking of captain america?

are you thinking of captain america?

On the new Superman, he peels that shieid shaped thingy off his chest and throws it. I guess he used it more as a weapon than as a shield, but it is shaped like a shield.

Um, I didn't want to use the word "cape" twice.

[crotchrocket]

ok you gits, now im definately not changing the wheels!!! I'll bill the forum for the extra fuel, lol

[VCrossfan]

Sheewwwww, crisis over, I don't know what I would have done either. I could have put the factory wheels and tires back on my expy for my 6K mile trip to moab and back, saved a few hundred bucks in gas plus a few hundred in rubber. But damn, those tires and wheels look way cooler than factory.
