    DJVX--- I highly recommend the KMC "XD-Series" RockStar in 20x8.5 (yes, 20" rims) with +10mm offset and 5.14" (35mm) backspacing with 108mm center bore opening on 6/5.5 bolt pattern (KMC Part #77528560310-Black). The 8.5" narrow rim, combined with the near factory 35mm backspacing will help minimize rubbing issues within the front wheel-well opening. Plus, the 20" rim will give your VX a very radical look for the Summer. These specific wheels are available at www.WestkyCustoms.com and sell for $239 each (ouch).

    Then, you can start dreaming about what 20" diameter tires you may want to fit on your VX for the Summer. Heck, it's only money.

    EDIT: Possible Tire Size Choices in 20" Rim Size:
    295/50R20 (31.6" O.D.) = this is a very rare size with only a small handful of choices. My personal favorite is the General - Grabber "UHP".
    285/50R20 (31.3" O.D.) = this size is nearly identical to the common 285/60R18 for VX's, except made for 20" rims. There are countless tires available in the very popular 285/50R20 size with many radical cool-looking V-Tread directional tread patterns. Visit: www.Tires-Easy.com
