Is there currently an aftermarket wheel picture thread on the forum? If so, can someone point me in the right direction? If not, show me your wheels!

Are all of the above 17s? Would be good to know the widths and offsets of each type...

Speedlines
Are standard fitment on the VXR220's so there are a perfect fit.
16/17 7j front,8j rear and I believe the offsets are 26 front and 35rear
I'm running 215,235 tyres which I find great but most people tend to use 195/205 front and 225 rear

You don't have that much freedom in wheels.
Most above samples have been custom specced for the VX. (offset etc)
Most common are 16/17 or 17/17.
Too much to explain about all wheels.
Just pick what you like and we can tell you pros and cons.

[color=#000000;][font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]Rear et30 8x17[/color][/font]

[color=#000000;][font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]Front [/color][/font]205/45/17
Rear are currently standard size, but need some new tyres soon, and will go for 235/45/17.
Fit great, only get very slight rubbing on fronts on full lock.

What benefit is that? Not like the VX is a heavy car and needs strong wheels? On the TVR maybe, as their wheels seem to be made of cheeseHeaviest but probably the strongest

Not neccesarily. It'd depend on the grade of alloy, the shape etc. Too many factors to be accurate.

Depending in tyre choice you can undo expensive lightweight wheels weight saving very easy.

It's a good job they are because you're sh!t out of luck if you need to get a replacement wheel. Same with the OZ's.What benefit is that? Not like the VX is a heavy car and needs strong wheels? On the TVR maybe, as their wheels seem to be made of cheeseHeaviest but probably the strongest
