Without question, the second one. I am amazed at how much cash you all spend on wheels, especially considering I really like my factory 18's. Why the need for so much bling? Maybe I'm just getting too old.

hi V twin

I have the 16 inc on a 99 and they just dont look as nice as the 18. The factory 18s are just as expensive and If i wanted bling I would have bought spinners

I've recently had these installed: ADR Emotion wheels 20x8.5 on 275/45/20 Goodyear tires. Somewhat similar to your #2 pick. The offset was about 10mm and sticks out past the cladding about an inch which was perfect for me. IMO, they have a very clean and straightforward appearance without being too overwhelming on the overall look of the VX. It also matches quite nicely with the chrome trim accents (mirror covers, 3.5 emblem & SS grill kit). Also, the ride is very smooth and not as firm or rigid as I thought it would be going with a 20".

The Borbets were purchased by a member off the forum. I'll let him post the pics when he gets them on.

Anyway, here's some pics of the VX w/ the ADR Emotion 20x8.5 wheels and Goodyear Eagle GT 2 tires 275/45/20.

Very nice Ron.

Any chance of pics from the front and back?

Has the low offset reduced your turning circle at all?

Cheers,
Murf.
