Or the Cruiser 926C http://www.rimfinancing.com/BRANDS/C...20926C-028.jpg that LDub and George like. I also like the American Racing RT-S that Tom likes http://www.tiretrends.com/include/get_image.php?id=4793 Those are my top three now and will make a decision shortly any more input greatly appreciated on these 3 options. Thanks.

    Don't forget to look at MKW wheels, they have a few that will fit our beloved VX and if you look at their gallery, there is a nice looking dragon there, but then I would say that since it's mine.

    I can see the concern for center cap with those styles with hub inserts.
    If it's any help, here's a few pics i have of the hub you have to avoid....

    It sticks out almost 3" so the rim has to be either deep or have a center cap that is a protruding cup.

    Good Luck.

    Thanks a lot. I am still going through many different options. This hub problem is only an issue on the front wheels correct? Thanks again, those photos help a lot, especially since my VX is still at Aamco and I can't just run outside and visualise!
