    Photos of VX required. Depends a LOT on stance (height) and colour.

    I'd stay away from VE copies, they will date spastically fast and everyone has them now.

    thats true about the ve rims everyone has them, usually a 5 or 6 spoke rims is best suited, but sometimes the right sort of rims that has more spokes can look really nice, just dont get any dinner plates lol, they just look awful when they arent on the right car.

    For a streeter I prefer a HSV wheel like my R8 clubsports, but then again I don't really like chromies

    I'd look at the VX SS factory wheels. I think they suit the lines on a VX compared to any of the factory wheels for say a VY/VZ. If you get VE rims make sure they are machined out properly I've talked to a guy who did it by hand.

    Personally I think it is up to you what looks good or not, if you like VE wheels then go for them as it's your car and your opinion is the only one that matters. Everyone will have a different opinion in what looks good and what doesn't so I suggest go to a wheel place and try some on until you find the ones you like, it's much easier to make a decision when you see them on your car then trying to picture them.

    I'm a sucker for factory rims. In my opinion the max I would go on a VX would be 19's. The supersports are a great looking rim I think that would be a nice choice, not to crazy but still make the car look great.

    Hey guys, the rubber I'm going for is what comes in the package, they are called Altenzo Tyres and Are supposed to be simular pattern to a perreli tyre but u get about 30,000 out of them ( I'f ur not an idiot with them which I'm over that stage now and just wanna cruise ) and perreli u get 50,000 out of them... And yea as for the supersport I'm wrapped I wouldn't go for 20" as I think they are abit overkill in size on the vx, they look odd, 19 is the biggest I'll go sand that would be 19inch supersport....
