GS Fonzy, lets see them on!

man, do you seriously lack that much of a sense of humor to in any way take a post like "its gotta be (3) 1.34 inch pieces of lip MELTED together and bolted on" as a legitimate statement? i was making fun of myself because i was wrong in saying the lip on that wheel couldnt be more then an inch or two chief. haha? funny.

Lets see some profile shots of the wheels. Where do your spokes sit? how much back pad do you have on the mounting pad?

Those wheels are going to look amazing on there. What tire widths will you be running?

Sunken lip or effective lip? Is it 'fake' lip? Do your spokes curve in all crazy like, to give you a good size lip, but then the center of the face is practically flush with the lip? Do you see what I'm getting at?
