If they are concave monos then that's as big as the lip gets. If they have 3 piece concaves then u might be able to get bigger lips but not much due to the concave faces. That or they won't be as "concave"

agreed, not quite what I was hoping for. The concave rims that I like the most have a smooth arc to them... these were very harsh and angular. Unclear why the spokes stop short of the lip. I dont think they'd go well with a lexus at all with its L-finesse shape... I think the BMW concave rims are much closer to the ideal.

damn, oh well.

That was because they showed you the rear wheel. The rear has more of a concave look because they can put an actual lip on it. The fronts... well that is self explanatory.

If your serious about a set let us know. We're going to be working closely with the guys at VOSSEN to get a few sets of these on Lexus vehicles.

Perhaps we can work some sort of partial sponsorship with you

I saw them in person at the SEMA show and I can honestly say they need to be seen to be appreciated.

The whole concave thing notwithstanding, these are great looking wheels. In my opinion the entire point of concave is less lip, and a more dynamic appearance. These wheels accomplish that task at a great price.

The first day I saw the S5, I thought it was OK. By Friday, I was in LOVE with it. lol
