    Thanks. I'll get one of those for my (future) VX. Where's a good place to buy them from? Do you know?

    These wheels have never been for sale in the US, the wheels in the pic were bought and shipped from Japan.

    For the record, I just ended a fruitless 4 month search for those same wheels.

    Rota makes a knockoff version -also unobtainable in the US.

    Bogus.
    'Cause those wheels rock.

    RotaUSA was no help to me, even SubyDude couldn't get his hands on them.

    I do hear that some have been able to get them shipped direct from the Phillipines -try it out and let us know. I'm on board for a set if you can find them (I've heard about some super bargains coming from there -the shipping usually doubles the cost, but it's still cheaper than a $2400 set of 'JDM' wheels and a 4 month wait).

    Nah, skip the hassle and cost. Just have a used set of OEM's (16x7 or 18x7) powder-coated in Black.

    I've thought about doing this with my H3 wheels, but I must admit I like the look of the chrome on my VX.

    x2. I'm a huge fan of chrome wheels and think they look the best on the VX. I realize other people like the blacked-out look, so powder-coating is a great alternative option for them while keeping the proper offset/backspacing advantages of the OEM rims.

    Chrome looks great on the lighter colors to make it not look so bottom heavy. But on the darker colors, black wheels look awesome.

    I mean c'mon... Check out Rickshaw's Dragon:

    cHROME WHEELS SUCK

    At least the VX OEM ones do. How many people have had the chrome peel off and the replacements are expensive as well. Poor quality and I do not think painting them black will help the peeling
