    all comes down to budge as shaneomac000 said, how much ur willing to spend?

    i'd suggest checking out the 'My Ride - VR-VS' and having a look at all the rides in there. will give u a good heads up on the VR-VS shape with almost every rim made, and some of those hard to find rims.

    good luck, and let us know what interest you.

    depends wether you want bling or tough, i personally like the osaka wheels with the black dish and the silver faces, plenty of styles, dunno how they would go with burgundy, maybe try some WH grange 18's, champagne n burgundy go well i think, or a set of SV99's, my favs

    Hi, here is a suggestion of rims that i myself are contemplating for my VR .... I bought the 'monza' rims for my wife's toyota Avalon Grande and they look great on her car....but not suited to the VR i think.
    These rims have proven to be excellent quality, they are somewhat neglected but when cleaned they come up as new.... it is the mirror paint finish that is awsome.
    The style i am buying for my VR is the 'Sanremo' in the 18" which also has the mirror paint finish... but i am not sure what they would look like on....

    OP and others....how do you think they will look on the VR/VS shape.

    They are expensive but i like them.

    hey, if you get someone to photoshop them for you could you post it up.... i would be interested to see what they look like also...
    I know what you mean .... i am not sure if they would suit either .... maybe more suited to audies n bmw's and such....

    As i mentioned the mirrow paint finish shines up realllly nice.... my vr is a burgendy or masai red in colour and lowered.... really need to see it photoshoped to get a decent vision of it though.

    Yeah it is somewhere to be found in the vr/vs my ride section under Josh's VR.

    i'll try to get it here...

    hmm... dont know how to link the photo to here but it is easy to find using the using the 'search' function ... type in my username and highlight the 'my ride' section and hit search, it comes up right there. not very good photo's though... the first one is when it's not yet lowered.
