First i don't know where the number are comparing the price of the wheels to a SC, i mean don't get me wrong, i want a supercharger just as much as the next guy, but that's nearly 3500.00 after install when i can get the wheels and tires for around 1600.00.

Now, to the stock look: I enjoy keeping the stock look on most things as well, but the wheels are just a crappy borrowed tropper design, and i don't feel they do justice to the VX's unique look and styling. BUT, i'm not completely sold yet on this design, so i do appreciate all the input from you guys. I like something that shows off the brakes and suspension.

as far as 20's with low profile rubber: The vehicross is a dual identity vehicle, on one side it's a mean *** four wheel drive, and on the other it's a sports car (interior, handling, power). now, i drove a gray one in greensboro with 19" wheels and a beefier street tire (i don't like rubber band tires) and it handled better and rode better than many cars i have driven. so the idea here is to give it it's props design-wise as well as satisfy the split personality. i will keep the stock wheels with off-road tires and run a larger wheel with lower profile tire for most of my street driving. I think this is a good idea, it allows me to use the off-road capabilities when i wish to and it also keeps me from buying a second car!! lol

so i get a good set of street tires and wheels, install the SC sometime next year (when warranty goes out) and keep my off road tires in the garage.

PS, i saw on TLC's overhaulin' that BF Goodrich is announcing a lower profile off-road tire soon. maybe i'll check these out!


again guys/gals... thanks for the opinions!
