Top 10 Best Wheels for VIP Style Builds

TL;DR — 3 Key Takeaways

1. VIP style wheels are about deep lips, multi-piece construction, and flawless fitment.

2. Classic Japanese brands still lead the way, but modern Euro options work beautifully on newer platforms.

3. The right wheel can make — or break — your VIP build’s stance and presence.

Setting the VIP Scene

In VIP style, stance might be the foundation, but the wheels are what draw the eye first. They frame the car’s personality, set the tone for the entire build, and, when chosen correctly, can elevate a good VIP project into something unforgettable.

At a show, you can spot a true VIP build before you see the badge — the way the wheels tuck perfectly under the arches, the polished lips catching the light, the sense that the car and wheels were designed as one. Choosing the right set isn’t just a shopping decision; it’s an art form.

We’ve seen this first-hand in our features — from the refined aggression of Japan’s original Bippu builds to modern interpretations like the 2023 Volkswagen Arteon SEL VIP-inspired build. The perfect wheel choice is always at the heart of the look.

1. Work VS-KF — The Timeless Icon

Ask any VIP veteran to name the definitive wheel, and the Work VS-KF will be in the first sentence. Its multi-spoke face, deep step lip, and availability in custom widths make it a dream for dialling in that perfect tuck. It’s as at home on a Toyota Celsior as it is on a modern Infiniti Q50.

2. SSR Professor MS3 — The Three-Piece Masterpiece

Known for their flawless machining and variety of finishes, the SSR Professor MS3 offers a bold yet refined mesh design. It’s the kind of wheel that demands close inspection — every angle reveals another detail.

3. Weds Kranze Bazreia — VIP Royalty

The Bazreia is practically a badge of honour in VIP circles. Its large, open-spoke design with a mirror-polished lip creates a commanding look. Often seen on Osaka’s most photographed builds, it’s an unmistakable statement of luxury stance.

4. Leon Hardiritt Ordens — The Show Stopper

Favoured by builders chasing a hyper-polished, show-winning finish, the Ordens pair intricate face design with extreme lip depth. They’re not subtle — but in VIP, that’s not always the goal.

5. BBS LM — The Euro Classic Turned VIP Staple

Originally designed for motorsport, the BBS LM has crossed into the VIP world thanks to its timeless mesh face and adaptability to big-bodied sedans. On a CLS55 AMG build, they bridge performance heritage with luxury refinement.

6. Rotiform KPS — Modern Twist for New Platforms

For Arteons, A7s, and other modern Euro-VIP crossovers, the Rotiform KPS brings a contemporary multi-spoke look with custom offsets that still deliver that all-important flush fitment.

7. Vossen HF-5 — Sleek, Lightweight Presence

The Vossen HF-5 blends a sharp Y-spoke design with the sizes and offsets needed for VIP stance. Perfect for builds like the 2019 Infiniti Q50 VIP project that merge performance and style.

8. Work Equip E05 — Old-School Cool

The Equip E05 is a love letter to ’90s Japanese luxury tuning — five chunky spokes, deep polished lips, and a look that screams Osaka street cruise. Perfect for retro VIP builds or anyone wanting that authentic old-school touch.

9. SSR Vienna Courage — Smooth and Understated

For builders chasing elegance over aggression, the Vienna Courage offers a simple five-spoke face with impeccable finish quality. It works beautifully on lighter-coloured cars where the goal is to enhance, not dominate, the look.

10. Forgiato Maglia — The High-End Statement

While not traditionally Japanese, Forgiato’s Maglia offers a custom-built, made-to-order luxury wheel option for those who want a one-off VIP statement. Pricey? Absolutely. Worth it for exclusivity? For some builders, without question.

Choosing Wheels for Your VIP Build

Selecting the right wheels is about more than brand loyalty. Consider:

• Size & Fitment — Most VIP builds run 18–20 inches, with aggressive offsets and custom widths.

• Finish — Chrome and polished lips are classics, but brushed and tinted faces can give a modern edge.

• Purpose — Daily driver? Go for durability. Show car? Push the limits on lip depth and face design.

And above all, match the wheel’s personality to your car’s lines. The wrong wheel can throw off the whole balance; the right one will make your build unforgettable.
