Just make sure you don't purchase from the "fronts only" sponsor! lolz

Where are you getting your information from? If you get these wheels, you can custom order the specs, step or reverse lip, and color of the spokes and barrel...so they're truly unique.

Yes, VS-XX will fit Brembos. All these wheels do. You just have to order the correct disk for the front. High-Disk for Volks and R-Disk for Work.



Here's a nice set for sale...just needs some work:

Having owned the standard 19x9.5/10.5 +24+23 meister s13p setup,
I would personally not repeat unless an amazing deal was involved...
There are many other lines to consider - specifically the re30 (which
imo has a lot of leg). You could also sport a well finished +12 te setup
in a custom color. The jp scara's are amazing, however untouchable.
I have seen only one ebay auction for a viable set in 3 years (considering
offsets). I would like to see more 2p work setups, especially in the full
polish (sp?). Sizing is limited to my knowledge, but I am sure Rick can sort
you out w something sick0. On the flipside there are some interesting new
HRe wheels with some cool matte black and metal finishes, but I think they're
pricing is a little wild for my conscience. Seems like SSR is a real unsung hero,
and their relative lack of fitments is frustrating as most sets I see for sale are > +30....
The ms1 (not sure if this is correct) is a great alt. to the vs-xx, but resale
will be softer. check out the '08 rays catalog - there a TON of crazy wheels
in sub-brands, many with very APPEALING offsets and sizes.

+1. Def check with Hai and/or myself for input, especially if you're custom ordering a new set and dropping a good amount of coin.

Like I said in post #22, T1 S does clear Brembos. You just have to order the right front disk, same as you do with any high-end JDM wheels.

You mean VS-XX only right? There are several VS-__ wheels.

Is that $4K with or without tires? That makes a big difference, depending on what tires you go with.

If you have up to 4k for just rims, then go with the vs-xx IMO. The t1s is fully cast 2 piece, while the vs-xx has a forged outer barrel, so it should hold up to seattle roads better, and should still put you way under budget.

If you order these maybe send them to the shop to murder out the lip and then we can hit the twisties!
