They would be strictly be for show on the road. My car is going to be a true S/S car. I was thinking the Aero I Forged. I think those would look awesome with a huge lip.

Depending on how huge of a lip your talking about, you may have to shorten the axle so the wheels dont stick out hugely far. Anything is possible with the right sized wallet.

Well I got some brand new Fikse FM5's I just paid $3700 for that I am about to sell, so the price isnt going to bother me. On the rear, yea I was planning on narrowing it 2 inch on each side. Thanks for the replies, I just check thier website and they have the sizes availiable, just waiting on someone to contact me about pricing. What is the biggest rubber I could put on some 19x13's, could I go 355?

Yea probably 355s. A nice deep lip would look killer.

Well that's a Viper size, so why not just go with the viper wheel and get the 345's?

Default 355

I like the pics of the 19's on the one in I Forged's phot album and I think the 19" wheels on VSG dont look too big, so I think Im going to go for the 355's and 19x13's. Just waiting on I Forged to contact me with prices.
