i bought it with ls meshies...they came stock with it and not the fat fives.... btw fat fives are not in my taste... ...now 16" or 17" ...most likely 17" since im going to be going through a lot of rubber with my turbo setup

17's will look ricey.... I guess, 16's give it that nice "touch" that wheels tend to do.

Too bad the vx-8 or vx-6r doesn't come in 16". I especially like the look of the vx-8 better than the vx-8r.

None. Nothing over 16. Especially since it snows over there.

I hate Velox. I think their entire product line is fugly. Get some Buddy Club wheels. They somewhat resemble the VX-6R's.

The VX8R only comes in 16s. And why would you want 17s if youre gonna go through alot of rubber. Tires for 16s are cheaper.

Yeah I didn't understand that either, I'd say stick with a 15" wheel
NONE from Velox
