    Thumbs up

    I LOVE em! Hope you get your handling issues resolved... might just pull because of the larger patches.

    Rim looks nice on the VX!

    Hey Cyrk

    I think that the larger patches are causing the surface handling.
    Corners are held so nicely though.
    You wanna swap ?

    They sure look sharp on that pretty silver truck of yours!
    Life is what happens when you're driving a VX...

    Hi guys
    As good as the wheels look I have decided to go with 18 inchers.
    I just feel the way the car handled was too much for me (too much pull supposedly due to the wide tires).
    what size tires would you suggest, 255 ?

    Are you sure?... I am running Toyo Proxes S/T Tires 255/55/18
    very happy with them... but when it is time to get new tires think I might get 285/55/18.

    Good luck with them, same rims?

    hey Dave/Cyrk how is your handling ? not on corners but on straight roads. And whats the offset of your wheels ?
    Wont the 285s be too high ?

    The borbets are 18x8... sometimes it pulls alittle but never anything to worry about plus with a 255/55 tire is is almost the same as the stock 18' wheel...

    As for the 285... they would be a little beefier which I want, but with the offset of the borbets and the 255 tire it sticks out nicely already. Very happy with this size, just think I might want a change when the time comes? Then again I have never driven a VX with 18 inchers on a 285.

    do you know the exact offset of your wheel. I am thinking of getting an offset of 35. The option is 35 or 18
