Ok, I have googled Vogue rims, and I don’t get what is so special about them.

In Japan I recall a lot of people using narrow(er) tires on wide wheels - so that the wheels were actually extended beyond the rubber. They call it “Hard Parker” style. It’s hard to Park.

All I know is that the rims are very expensive. There’s some irony in putting expensive rims on a ‘93 Buick, whose resale value is significantly less than the rims.

There was an article a couple of years ago in the Wall Street Journal about companies and suppliers leasing the rims as well as selling insurance only for the rims and tires. I was really amused by Toyota Celica owner with new tires and leased rims that would cost him more in one year than the residual value of his souped-up import.
