I'm a fan of dark rims. I would go with gunmetal or black. Although the bronze might look pretty good on Vivid.

I love the bronze on my Porn Star Blue EP. I've got 17 Konig Heliums but wish I went with either Rota Grids or Circuit 8s in 16 or the Circuit 10s in 17. If I had the money: Ray's Volk CE28 in 16 or TE37s in 17.

Go with the ATS Comp Lite for 150 per side and 15.7 or 16 LBS. That's what I have on my ride. They come in black, silver and gun metal.

Either of them would be a good choice. Im actually planning on getting some bronze C10s for my VBP.

No regrets. Sorry for the wrong impression. I love them. They're light (16.6 lbs), got the low profile JDM look that I want, and got them shod w/ 215/45 Nitto Neo Gens for $900. Konig has improved on quality tremondously. I just wish I had the extra money to get the (forged) Volks. One of these days I'll actually post some pics. They look great on the VB.

good to hear that the heliums are good, but imagine paying alot for just rims like volks and getting them stolen...

Another good point. If I had a house w/ garage in a decent neighborhood I'd feel better but theft is allways on my mind when I'm parking anywhere. Which brings up another point: Get some Mcgards, save your reciepts, and take pictures and put them away for insurance purposes.

The best wheels ive seen on a blue EP are the flat black slips. Personally the only colors id consider for a VBP EP would be flat black, gunmetal, or sports bronze.

Check this out for a spy photo of my ride at a meet in Houston: 17" Heliums w/ 215/45 Nitto Neo Gens on a VB EP. The drop is by Progress. I've got some more work coming so I'll hold off on the members pic.

what are your thoughts on the Neo Gens?

Pretty good tire. Quiet and comfortable. Holds better when taking tight sharper turns w/ agressive throttle but gets vague on wide open curves at high speeds when they start to wonder a bit as if they're deciding to break or not. A rear lower bar could fix this though. Straight line could be a little better. The are excellent in the rain which can be bad if you're a "spirited" driver like myself. I still can scratch 2-3 shifts. My bro, Kimchi Boy has the same set of tires with about 5K more in miles (aprx 10K) and they showing about 1/4 wear. for the money there good but I'll probably go with some of those new Toyos or Bridgstones.
