    You got Vn ss rims they dont look bad, if you get some cheap interceptors and paint them silver it would look good

    Get some good five-spokes with a bit of dish. 16 or 17" racing wheels:




    Just keep in mind, if you get big wheels (18" or 19") you won't be able to safely do this:



    Note how they have 14s on that car. Nothing can possibly go wrong.

    i was gonna start a thread but i'll just use this. I also have a VP,and will be purchasing some wheels very shortly... now i grew up around VN, VP's and back then, (10+yrs ago..) if you had 17's on your VP, they were considered BIG, and anything larger, was reserved strictly for the show scene. But how times have changed, back then, if someone said to me that they were putting 20's on there VP, i would have laughed and said it can't be done, but we all know now that it can. These days, it seems that to create a visual impact, 18's are about the very least you wanna use. I'd like to hear from people what size wheels they have on their VN/VP, and what it's like to drive. Did you incurr any problems during the fitting stage, and have you had any problems since..?
    I saw this picture last night, VP SS, and it's fitted with 20's..in my head this would look dumb, but in the picture, it looks oh so right!!!

    On my vp i would be looking for 18s anything bigger and you will get way to much attention from the dark side with flashy lights

    18s will get you just as much attention Maybe not a defect, but the same amount of attention from the law. Very few people fit good looking 18s, too. Be careful with what you choose.

    if u wanna go something thatll look good but not grab too much attention, the vt s pack rims do suit, and they will only cost about 300 max for a good set

    what size are you looking for? if your looking for 18s then dont even bother reading on

    I'd suggest some VT II Calais? I reckon they look nice and classy (they look kind of like those 18s on some mercs going around) its just a shame that theyre a couple inches too small

    go the rims from the black vn in this one.
    i think they are a bit pricey, but it gives you a mean look compared to every other person who puts theres on 18's.

    There's a manafactuer on Ebay at the moment, their selling copies of VZ Clubsport R8 wheels (19 inch) their a slightly darker colour to the originals, but still look real nice. The buy now price is $595, for the set of 4 brand new. I'm trying to put the link up for it so others can see.
