Question Big Steve, is there a reason why you went with this wheel over the AC one? If it cost over a grand a wheel, you could have had the same wheel, same offset, same finish, made by AC?

Going with the VR01 was to help Autofashion with a new wheel line that they are helping promote, and they take care of companies that take care of them. But why pay more for a "vip" stamp? As far as I'm concerned, what is vip? Who says what is vip and what isn't?

I'm not knocking the wheel, I was just wondering what your motive was, because as far as the pricing it comes out about the same....I figured it would have been because you were helping promote the company or something along those lines. No biggie, the wheels still look good!

I'm sorry but I'm sure that MR VIP himself (of JP) would back you up in saying that those wheel's would be considered VIP......Get over it, they look sick and definatly dont make his car look race inspired or anything......It look's 100% VIP from where I'm sitting......

I think most of you guys aren't understanding my question.

Let me rephrase, why would you pay as much as an original wheel, only to buy the essential 'knockoff' (not hating but that's what it is considering we thought they were AC wheels) but since he is promoting the company, I understand.

No one was trying to start a what's vip and what isn't debate.

Does AC wheels have that much effect that when there made here in the states and "NOT IN JAPAN" that it makes it even more VIP because of the name? I dont think of it as persay it is a knock off just another option. The company is willing to work with anyone out there and gives "YOU" the customer what they want without alot of fender modification. I think its just an up and coming company that will make its way into VIP styling throughout the year and it will be recognized just like AC would or Junction Produce... Remember this wheel is made in the states yes but when u need to fix it or replace it you wont have to send it back to Japan... And yes AC's are made right here in the states and uses the same companies as VIP Modular and most of the 3 pcs wheel companies such as HRE!

I'm not going to debate about it, it's just a simple question. The fact that he's apparently sponsored (hence 'promoting company') I then understood why he chose this company, a NEW company, over an established, reputable company.
I never said, 'why didn't you get something vip'. I stated, why didn't you just go with AC, rather than this company.

I think everyone understands what your trying to say but if you look close VIP modulars are totally different then the AC... Im not knocking any company its just that it is a high qualuty made wheel and its trying to get out there. Hopefully we see more of the VIP modular =) they made there way to japan with articles in the new LS magazine! Everyone always want to know why u go for "those" instead of "these" And to be honest with you I was skeptical about new things like Airrunner and VIP Modular and well they turned out to be something way better then what we thought and at Autofashion we will sell you something we would put on our own cars to make sure u have the best quality product out there and yes we use all our products that we carry =)

How long did it take to get yours done??? I ordered mine 2 months ago and they're still not done. I was trying to help Yuya out with them on for a few shows, but missed them both. I have a set of there VR 03 and the quality is really good. We may run a special on them next month.
