    Default tough looking rim's

    does anyone know of some tough street/strip style rims that look good on a vp
    so far all i can find a intercepter's. old skool muscle rim's just dont suit as in draglites and pro star's, convo pro's mite look ok
    i want to keep the car looking simple but tough no bling stuff
    btw i just got the gimp program but i am still working it out so i dont know how to cut n past mags yet (changed colour and put a blower on a ba xt lol)

    Ceptors are only good for down at the track to burn up some tyre.

    Other than that, they have no street appeal, and you look like a povvo bastard who could only afford 2 rims when you put them on just the rears of your car too.

    Nothing like a full set of rims.
