This car has one of the best stance and looks i know and i think these wheels would look really nice in silver car too. What do you think ?

If you have any ideas where to ask good deal of these too ?

Those are Forgeline VR3P's, I recently purchased a set of 19's/20's for my car. Let me be the first to tell you that they are one of the nicest wheels I have seen, but they don't come cheap! Best deal on Forgelines would be through Frank Sarafin at Prodigy Customs/GP Superstore. Here is a couple pics of my wheels so you can get an idea of what all chrome looks like. Hope this helps :thumbsup:

Thanks ZZ3ElCamino !!!!!!!!!!!!

Your wheels looks like out of modern art museum:hail:

I am sure those wont come cheap but i have had a set of "good" billet wheels.. This i want wheels wich are strong and race quality.

Do you have any idea of the "reverse lip" or "fat lip" desing of those wheels? Is it strong enough for road racing ?

Looks like its Frank every time when i asking good deals:cheers: !!!

Bowtieracing, Forgeline actually just released a new series of wheel. I guess they call it their "Street Series", these have the regular solid 6061-T6 solid spun lip (http://www.forgeline.com/wheels/vr3s.html) which appears to be the same as their "Race Series" wheels. This may be more along the lines of something you might want if, you intend to beat that sh*t out of them at the track :D As far as strength of the "fatlip" designs, they are also solid 6061-T6 spun hoops just like the race series, so they probably have the close to the same strength as the other two. I am going for looks so I dig the fat lip design! Give Frank a call, I am sure he wouldn't have any problem talking cars with you. :D

I am a bit partial to the VR3 wheels, those are by far my favorite! I think 335/XX-19 tires are pretty slim pickin's, if there is even one out there. May have to go with an 18. I know Toyo just came out with a new tire, it is the Proxes R888. Steve Rupp is running them on "Bad Penny". If you do end up going with Toyos you can order then mounted and balanced from Frank. That is what I did, and man did it save some hassle.
