    Nice Wheels! Rota Journey

    http://rotawheels.com/products.php?id=35

    Rota is an inexpensive maker of lightweight cast aluminum wheels. I'm not sure of the exact specs of this wheel, but it's available in 6x5.5 with +15 offset - seems to me this would work well with the VX for a street setup. Wrap them in some soft rubber and I bet the VX would handle really well!

    Nice wheels

    Here is a wheel I have been looking at. It's a MB Wheels Predator. Right bolt pattern, large bore with a 25mm + offset. Comes in Chrome or Anthracite/Machined which really picks up the cladding color, plus if you look closely at the lip, it has little machine thingee's that would pick up the cladding bolt heads. It's aesthetically quite pleasing. The 20 incher is $183.00 at Discount tires. My problem is finding someone other then Discount tires so I can do a trial fitting.

    My discount tires will do test fits. They mounted up 3 different size tires on 2 different rims when I was getting my off road set! Of course I know the manager real well

    Iirc, MB Wheels are EXTREMELY heavy - in the range of 40 lbs + for a 20 incher. The Rotas probably weigh about 20-25 lbs, which is REALLY light for a truck wheel. With 9" of width, a nice wide stance, and some soft, light rubber, they should give the VX a really sporty ride.
