    Those are slick. I like the spacing so it can show off painted brake calipers and discs.

    One comment I have on rim offset-
    If the wheels stick out too much you'll get very dirty side mirrors and some cool rooster tails front and back. (add mudflaps)
    But I think it's well worth it for the wider stance look!

    Good Luck.

    Dutch,

    You better make sure they'll fit the big hubs of our VX. Usually, wheels with lug-nut covers (and a big positive offset) are for FWD cars with mini-hubs.

    Do a search for "lexani" or "wheel hub" and you'll find some posts of mine about hub-fitment nightmares.

    Generally, anything with an extended pop-in hub cover (like the 178's i have) will fit no problem. Make very sure of other wheels before putting $$$ down!!!

    PS - here's the drawing I made of the front hub (side elevation) to give you a general idea of the dimensions:
