   Currently running on ace 17''alloys with pirelli p7000's, want to drop my vtr and as it is it rubs with the 17s and i dont want to start work on the arches....Iam wanting to get a set of stadard alloys for it - I will most likely get vtr ones but I like the vts alloys too - would you all think i was a 'wannabeee' running vts alloys on a vtr..???? Thanks!

   lol DarylVTR....yeh, seen a few ppl here with vts alloys on a vtr/furio, i dont want to try and look like im trying to be a vts - thats not the plan, end of the day they are just a set of alloys!! Well, I'd have to actually find a decent set first! As they are like rocking horse shit!

    go for some 16" multispokes (love 'em) with 195/40 tyres and you can go down 60mm with no scrubbing at all
    
    
    You can't go wong with a decent set of multispokes
