    Whatever you decide, I'm sure it will be the right decision.

    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!

    There's some pix in my gallery that show the front hub since I don't have center caps. Maybe that'll help answer some of your questions. There's no hub protrusion on the rear wheels (sorry, no close up pix).

    Put a smiley after you say that Bub.

    Just a little update on the center bore.
    We do not need 108mm as I have seen listed around here.
    The factory spare only has 98-100mm center bore, 8-10mm can make a huge difference when having wheels custom bored..... I would say if anyone was going to have wheels custom bored in the future 100mm is as wide as you need. Just a little FYI.
