those rims could be velox BUT he would of had to custom painted them or power coat them, cuz Velox only come in gunmetal,black and silver, in which case if they are velox they are 17in VX-8 and not the 16in version vx-8r... I know my Velox vx-8 ad 8rs .. I've owned both sets.. I <3 the vx-8r though, they were made in limited quanties and they are a lil different from the vx-8! I'm hopeing they are "REAL" rims!:lol: VOLKS ftw!
