People.... stop lifting your VXs already!

I want to lift mine SO BAD but it wouldnt fit in the garage afterwards. And since she is my weekend ride now, I don't want to leave her out in the scary anti-automobile atmoshpere known as Mother Nature's wrath. :p

Nice job. Get some meat under there now and make her complete. ;)

I'm sick with jealously also, especially with that backdrop. It makes me hate living in Chicago even more.

Looks Nice...How tight were the fronts as to the i.d. (center bore) of the wheel. I think GM Trucks/SUV's are 100.3mm and Vx's are 108mm. Did you have to machine the I.D. of the wheel or space it out???

Nice job, jeff.

See you this weekend.

Center bores:

These wheels had a center bore of about 80MM, and didn't allow room for machining so I used 2-1/4" Billet aluminum spacers on all four wheels. This is the perfect size to clear the front hub and give the hubless look to the center of the wheel.

Beware, even with a lift and only 265/70/17's, Due to the extra offset created by the spacers, there is a bunch more trimming to do than installing wheels without spacers.

PEEEEEECE,
Bim

Can you give a time line and approx cost??

If its not gonna happen ...let me know and I'll try and do some.

Congrats !,

You just won the award for "most GM parts on a VX" :p

Have fun at COZU & keep a watchful eye on those spacers & lugnutz ! :eek:

Still working onthe billet roof rack. It sort of got put on the back burner with lifts/wheels/tires, motorcycles, supermodels, etc.

Alright, kpaske...if my cast aluminum, laser etched and enameled grill badge looks like a "Honda" logo, I'll get out the grinder and see what I can do to change it a bit....don't want people to think I customized a CRV.

I haven't seen it close up, but I'm sure it's very nice. ;)

I guess it doesn't look exactly like the Honda logo, but that was the first thing I thought of, FWIW. I love the wheels though! ;Db;

That is an awsome looking bike rack you have there!!!! (wink)

The lift looks great.
