Velox Wheels..possibilty

i just checked out some sites and found the velox nova. i think it would go niicely with my ninja kit. the color id prolly keep it silver..but goin to 18's..offset 40..rims are light too..around 19 lbs per rim (according to Vic at wheeloptions). package price with tires is real good. what do you guys think?

Those would look awesome in 18's on a 5th gen. Especially lowered with no wheelwell gap. Go for it!

i have a set of velox rims on my car(VX-6 gunmetal). i was a little dissappointed in them because they dont really look like 18's because of the lip. i think they are still good looking rims though. i just hate it when people ask, "Are those 18's? it ****es me off. they do look really, really good spinning. i try and post pics of them soon.

i think another reason the VX 6 might look smaller is teh center cap on it looks kinda big compared to the nova you know?? the spokes dont look as big. but pics would be sweeeet. after i buy these i think im going to get H&R's to lower the ride..keep the stock shocks till the kyb's go down a bit..only about 16,000 miles on teh max anyway.

I personally think they would look cheap on your nice ride. If I had to do it over again, I'd go with the some nice RH's or SSR GT3's. Have u checked out Tire Rack?

the SSR GT3 is definitely a sweet looking rim but i dont have that kinda money to spend on rims. IMO if i were to spend about 450 per rim..id go with the VOLK GTP's..i think they look real good. but since im a college kid workin for the car (and no i dont take my max for granted.. i think ill have to stick with rims that are a lil cheaper in price..but pretty good quality nonetheless.

Re: Velox Wheels..possibilty

How much are they gonna charge you at wheeloptions? I am also looking into getting 18's for my ride. What is quote on the wheel and tires package shipped?
