Rays wheels all the way
I'll be checking back here frequently

I really like your idea, your steppin it up big, Black Paint is the way to go, I don't really like the idea of the Super VR-4 rear extensions, for the rims I vote for the Rays although the other ones have more aggressive numbers. Suscribed.

The Ray's IMO they are a MUCH better looking wheel, plus they have an heir of class to them

thats some big shoes u stepping into but its a great project to do, get her done.

**RedGalant2k1** · 07-07-2010, 07:47 PM

The iForged no doubt. Fitment will be crazy with those wheels, MUCH more Vip-styled than the 8.5" Rays, especially since you have them with only a +19mm offset. Though, if you DO plan to run 20x10s, you will have a load of work to do on the rear quarters. I'd run a 225/30R20 or 235/30R20, anything else will have a very tough time fitting even with a load of mods. That is unless you plan a super-dooper-all-out widebody Galant.

If you want to impress the VSC guys (or Car show Judges), than you'll need the iForged.

how is a simple five spoke wheel 'VIP'?

**RedGalant2k1** · 07-07-2010, 08:19 PM

This is how a simple 5-spoke wheel is still VIP.

A 8.5" +19mm is an aggressive fitment for a Honda. We can fit up to a 9.5" +20mm wheel. So, the Rays, however nice they may be, aren't exactly going to garnish any credibility from the VIP community aside from the wheel brand. Especially so if he wants to accomplish the look of the above black Galant.

Or these (on a JDM Honda no less)

Junction Produce Scara's.

blue8g · 07-07-2010, 08:36 PM

Hmm I like the fitment, but the wheel is just so ugly

**unclepaulie** · 07-08-2010, 01:31 AM

ill be following this closely! i know a few of us in australia are keen for a VIP styled galant

you need a dash table too

also, if you go a 20" rim with an open face, like the iForged, you need a massive brake kit to get the VIP look, im sure some ksport 12pots or something will fill up the holes. personally id go 19's
