    My vote would be for the 2nd one
    2001 Ironman Daily Driver... 3.5" suspension lift (OME912 springs and 1" spring spacer), ball joint flip, 1.5" front diff. drop, 33"x12.5 TrXus MT, 16x10 Eagle Alloy rims, Interceptor, PV muffler, K&N air filter, Alpine Supercharger, Bilstein shocks, and some trimming.

    2000 Ironman Project LS-1 VX... very slow progress but someday....... ohhhhh someday......

    Without question, the second one. I am amazed at how much cash you all spend on wheels, especially considering I really like my factory 18's. Why the need for so much bling? Maybe I'm just getting too old.

    hi V twin

    I have the 16 inc on a 99 and they just dont look as nice as the 18. The factory 18s are just as expensive and If i wanted bling I would have bought spinners

    I've recently had these installed: ADR Emotion wheels 20x8.5 on 275/45/20 Goodyear tires. Somewhat similar to your #2 pick. The offset was about 10mm and sticks out past the cladding about an inch which was perfect for me. IMO, they have a very clean and straightforward appearance without being too overwhelming on the overall look of the VX. It also matches quite nicely with the chrome trim accents (mirror covers, 3.5 emblem & SS grill kit). Also, the ride is very smooth and not as firm or rigid as I thought it would be going with a 20".

    The Borbets were purchased by a member off the forum. I'll let him post the pics when he gets them on.

    Anyway, here's some pics of the VX w/ the ADR Emotion 20x8.5 wheels and Goodyear Eagle GT 2 tires 275/45/20.

    Very nice Ron.

    Any chance of pics from the front and back?

    Has the low offset reduced your turning circle at all?

    Cheers,
    Murf.
