If I'm not mistaken, they are the only or one of that can now get weds w/o having to wait +3 months for shipping. 30 DAY WAIT IF ORDERED BEFORE THE 20th OF EVERY MONTH!I had to wait about 3-4 months for my set

Note- None of the "VIPwheels" are stocked stateside unless they are used and being sold. Most of these are made to order. There's a few vendors around that do keep a little stock but only a handful and in select sizes

EDIT-Grant can also get you weds quickly and at decent prices

Yea, I'm not feelin the Steifen's on a M45. If I were gonna go WALD, I'd rock either the "Portofino" or the "Duchatlet".

I've neevr been a big fan of the borphes, IMO there's jus so much better out there. Those WORK Varianza F2Ss Kalypso123 posted would be dope. Also check out the other WORK Varianza line-up http://www.workwheelsusa.com/c...ry=24 along w/ their Varianza-Schwert line-up http://www.workwheelsusa.com/c...ry=23 lots of good wheels to choose from in there

Yo Kalypso123 what is up w/ your advatar!

this is the most retarded thing i've ever read.

wait for pancakes? guess it needs the oscar stamp of approval...

modding is personal expression, not "what can i do to fit in?". as long as you're using quality parts there's no right or wrong.

i'll take the walds over either of the other, and i like all 3 in proper application, especially the forged 1 piece (d/c'ed).



f**k it... throw in the car too!

Somebody feelin grumpy this morning! Yo Dude don't got a Mercedes CLS, he got a 04 M45.Yes, jus about any rim can look good given the right aspects but Borphes & Steifen on a M45 wouldn't look good but like I said that's my opion!

i'm a nice dude but if your gonna quote me, due so respectfully.

- pancake's car is legit, and much nicer then yours - his feedback is worthwhile to someone that wants a viable opinion.

- modding is personal expression? that MERC is UGLY, it would not ruffle feathers at any VIP auto show.

ugly wheels, brake clearance for the spoke is too high... not enough liplike I said - steifen's are wak.

- and lastly borphes nice mesh style wheels - but they dont have much VIP flavor.there are nicer wheels out there. even the weds a few posts up.





so, i luv you, next time you want me, just say my name.

I personally like that Merc and would think it's even more dope in person!The wheel style is a little cheesy for what it is but it works for that style they're tryna pull off w/ it. Also remeber lip aint everything! You don't need massive lips to be "VIPstyled".

Borphs...made by WEDs can be considered a VIPstlyed wheel given the right car, fitment, etc. That Z pulls them off very well and I've seen many other VIP cars in the past pull them off but the topic is about this cat's 04 M45 in which I think there's many other wheels he could choose that would be better. I think he's looking for a cheap good looking wheel and that's why he threw up them options. Agreed it is his car and he is free to do and build how he wants, I jus try to help by giving my 2 cents and supplying what I may or may not hahahah know. I'm by far not a Guru or anything but I would say I at least know a little of what I'm talkin about hahahahaha.....

both trafficstar are nice. i think you meant dtx. i would choose those over the rtv personally but it's your call.

my honest opinion would be wait until you can make up your mind for yourself. scrambling to find a wheel just cause you need them is gonna leave you with regrets i bet. wait until something really jumps out at you,

if your looking for used wheels some places i always see some nice stuff is:

rbwheels.commemoryfab.com(these 2 are great for finding older rare wheels)

vipstylecars.com classifiedsclublexus.com classifieds

ebay.com(sometimes, if you know what you're looking for)

if you're buyin new just browse the manufacturer's sites. you'll find something sooner or later. the y34 is a nice platform that can pull of a wide variety of modern styles from sporty to luxury. it's all in how you want to play it.

haha, dude me, blackonblack, and pankakes, have prolly the most experience, in like one hand of our bodies with this s*** than you will ever have. i built a VIP car, knowing i was going to throw it away a year later, and still did it better htan people that are going to keep it for years. black and pancockas are always doing cool s***, along with a bunch of other people. stick with your s***ty a** s chassis, until you grow up and realize they suck

I never claimed to have more experience, in fact I was trying to help that guy.

But I don't troll through the VIP forums looking for people to shyt on and disrespecting members just for kicks.

you and I are the same, but until you and black, and all your egos have respect for people - all the money and luxury sedans in the world, wont make a difference.

peace
