I'm having a hard time deciding what body kit to purchase for my 00 GS I'll be purchasing one in the near future (3-4 months).* I plan on running etheir the JP wheels or the wheels in the pictures below.* My GS is Silver, what kit do you think looks best on that color?!* Thanks!

Really like these wheels but are they VIP?! It looks like this is a Japan Aristo?!* Anyone know what wheels they are?!*

Thanks! :)

I would say the rims on the top picture are more vip than the ones on the bottom. The bottom ones are Maya RT5's.

I like the Maya RT5/Trafficstar but I prefer the Euroline SL.
A popular saying around here is "it's not the wheels that are Vip, it's the car"

The Trafficstars are nice! But very pricey. I'd love to get my hands on a set of those. The Work Euroline is a little less expensive, say by about 100-200 cheaper. I think for your car the SL's would make your car look pretty vip to me.

Thanks! As everyone said before those are Work Euroline SLs and the other ones are Maya/Trafficstart RTs. A member here (johnnygoodlife) is running the RTs on his car and it looks great, I believe he can get them to. I think the choice of wheels is really up to the person thats going to use them, there's no specific "VIP" wheel.

My theory on full face wheel is this. In order to get the biggest lip, big brakes are usually not an option. And to hide the fact that the stock rotors look so small compare to the new wheels, people would choose full face wheels to hide it.

How about Leon Hardritt Waffe?

They only cost about a bajillion dollars.


jk, $800-$1,200 per wheel

Oh, we're talking about bodykits? I'm a fan of the Junction kit for the Aristo, personally.

Poyet, how much of you rear fender did you shave? If you went all the way top the edge, do you think +20-25 is doable ?

WOW! Thanks for the reply's!* I loooooooooove the other wheels, I like full face wheels but also want that deep lip.* I'm really really liking the 'AC Supremes' and love johhnygoodlife's kit (whole car in general* :)) Anyone know the price on thos AC Supremes?

Maya's are gorgous wheels.* But I would like to stick to a Japanese wheel.

Gato: Thanks for the pics, just not diggin the side skirts on teh Silver GS.* Looks a little ricey to me personally (nothing against anyone running them) but I would like to keep the lines clean and simple.* Looove the kit on the white Aristo you posted and the wheels.* What kit is that?! Liking the set up on the white Aristo.

Thanks!
