[/quote] I don't have the GPS because it doesn't work in Hawaii. Yes, I used to have a Sunset Lemans GS4. BTW, my car computer is for sale so if anyone is interested, let me know.

:o That is super SICK. your fittment in the rear is awesome! You have built one of the nicest VIPcars on this side of the pacific!
Absolutely gorgous! Interested to know why GPS doesnt work in Hawaii though, i was under the impression that GPS signals work all over the world! Or is it because there is no maps for hawaii? That would suck! :( So when you say "work in progress", what else are you planning? Looks pretty much perfect to me ;)

I still have a few more things in mind...full A/V set up, Cima badges, wood steering wheels, clear tails etc.
Big props man, love the fitment on the wheels, keep up the good work with the project! Your car makes me regret the fact that a set of insane show wheels is out of my budget for the time being. Heres to the future of all our cars and the U.S VIP community ;D D.
Damn that car is pure fire :o ah Y33 thats the car right there MmMm. how much is the carputer going for just asking.

Haha, i'm not giving away my wheels specs until my project is completed. Lets just say they're pretty wide with a decent amount of negative offset.
holy cow how many wheels do u have? u have these and the black face ones and u bought my carlsson's!
NOOO, please don't get me confuse with the other guy. I NEVER BOUGHT YOUR CARLSSON's. They're nice wheels but I would NEVER buy such a weak offset...the guy you're talking about bought a blk/blk Q like mine. I don't know what his build plans are, if any.

hmm in regards to the carlssons: what does it matter what offset it is since they are a full face mono block style ? if you want it to look wider then you just apply spacers to widen it right ? the whole point with strong offsets is for maximum lip - dish right ? utilizing maximum offset for a full face monoblock wheel is redundent.

I wouldn't run a full face monoblock wheel ;)

[/quote] IMO the vip look is what sits flush in the fenderwell. Sure people are running full faced wheels, but the offsets push the wheel as close to the fender as possible.

[/quote] Better offsets will yeild better fitment for your application. Regardless of the style/face you choose to run.

[/quote] Becuase nothing looks ghetto like a set of 7" wide wheels spaced out to the fenders with no rubber. When you see a car from behind with a weak width and huge spacer, it really looks 'off.' The wider rubber / streched wide rubber compliments the look as well. When I see a thin wheel spaced out I think of a low-rider thats 'bull-dogging.'
