Simmons arent the only people who make 3 piece custom 19s and 20s... you can still do something different to the other guy with normal looking wheels 22s look too big for the size of the car imo

is ITSWAR vk or vl..? looks good eitherway. i think you should stay with your 20's. they looked good when i saw them and as other people have said 22's would be a bit overkill

Hats off for trying something different, dont think it will work though and still retain some decent ride height cheers bro thats what i was thinkin there are some many freekin vls nowadays its really hard to be diff not everyone is willin to get 22s so id rather be in the minority unlike frs honestly frs are the bomb but they are on so many rides now i cant stand bein the same, lol i now know i shouldnt have decided to make a vl different stupid me lol but anyway thanks

hahaha... being different... Its is indeed so hard, I had big plans to go 'different'. But now i've got a standard colour over silver paint job, chasing up some senator sigs and am keeping to the original grey interior...

The beauty of the VL is that the body shape is low and sleek which means you dont need big wheels to make it look nice, on the other hand if you got say a VE commodore which for some reason holden tried to make look like a obese sumo restler then 22's or bigger are needed to make the car look decent. I got internationals on my calais and still to this day people comment on how nice they look and plenty still come up and ask if there 18's. Also if you really wanna be different instead of adding heaps of wank factor that people do try keep the car as original and clean looking as you can, i know people do this but no where near as much as the big rims/body kits etc etc
