Stan, Sorry to keep bothering you, but are your wheels silver, or the gunmetal color. In your picture a couple posts up, they look like gunmetal gray.

 

Those wheels are HOT.... gotta like 'em.

On another note... I got my wheels in today. Crappy pic, dirty car (washed now) but finally, they're in.

 

^Heeeeeeeeey you jacked my SIG toon, it still has my license plate i think

 

lmao

 

You know that imitation is the best form of flattery, right?? I thought it was cooool.

Actually, I changed it (moved the antenna to the front...lol)

Hope ya didn't mind.

Glad you got a SIG you like

 

Thanks bud for the help... much appreciated.

I like my wheels, but I would like a 3" lip. Has anyone seen any like these that have a wide lip? I prefer 17x7/7.5.

Wait...*Looks around*


This is a Mini site?????



*runs away and hides*

 

You're going to need a lot wider than a 7 or 7.5 to get anywhere near a 3" lip...

 

R90's would make a nice choice! They're not as light as some aftermarket wheels, but they definately can take a pothole and are still lighter overall than stock. They also hold a balance and ride true as well.

 

I am looking at a bunch of wheels. The only thing close to your desription.
XXR 504, 18" only. 3.25" lip. Five spoke but kind of rounded spokes.

 

Not true, I have a half set of 17x7 with a 3" lip. (Volution-VRD 5) Can't seem to find any simple replacements. I like wheels that are easy to clean.

I don't have a big brake kit so I wouldn't dare buy 18" wheels. The larger the diameter the greater the rotation weight. I know there are light weight wheels out there, but I'm not willing to spend a fortune on a set of rims.
The xxr's are not conservative enough for me. They seem blingish.

Minian

 

That's what a 3" lip should look like. I don't buy the whole idea of the face of the rim sinking inwards 2" to create a "3" lip"... Like I said, you'll need wider than a 7" wide wheel and a low offset.

 

i think 1 of the biggest lip out there without going custom (wide rim + offset), is the Axis Widetrack, i believe thats what it's called, go check it out, maybe it's what u looking for?

 

Yup. I would not buy them, just saw the lip width. I would like BBS's like my 335 had. 1K a wheel is not happening though.
I put so much $ in that car then spent weeks unloading all my mods. Not a very fiscally responsible person when it comes to cars.
Being single has it's advantages.

 

My 18" sportmax have a fairly healthy 2.25" lip and were pretty inexpensive, and they fit both 12mm and 14mm bolt widths

 

God that's a beautiful car. You guys on here (and gals) have some really great looking cars. The more I look, the more outstanding cars I see.

eh, what gave you that idea ?

 

I see what you mean, but the bigger wider tires change the accuracy of the odometer. They are also pricey. I love turns which cause me to replace tires more often than I would like..

Minian

 

I'm not much for red, but you have a good looking car.

Minian

 

think before hitting the "submit" button. how do bigger, wider rims affect the accuracy of the odometer. clearly, wider rims will make no difference. "bigger" rims will not, by themselves, cause inaccuracy. only when coupled with tires that are taller/shorter than OEM, will odometer/speedometer error occur.
