Tiny,

def big congrats on the work wheels, esp after what we have discussed dave came thru after all heh?! i do not mind waiting for a few months, but i need to be informed of the progress a you said, correct?

dexter,

LIP is the distance from the edge of the outerr rim to the end of the spoke, some wheels have them, some do not.

Chris - See, I told you Dave would come through. He's not out the screw anyone...he's just got a LOT on his plate...

Also sounds like you've been doing some researching!

Great looking wheels where the spoke comes out the edge: AVS Model 5.

Thanks All..... Yes, although they arent quite in my possesion, it looks like the arrival date will only be about 5 weeks beyond the original date. Considering the state of our nation, I really shouldnt be complaining. During my most recent phone conversation with Dave, he mentioned that Work had no more Equip 20". They had the lip part, because it is the same as the one used on the RezaxII, but they had to make the dish. He was also having major issues getting any of his orders finalized and delivered. Either way, Im really looking forward to getting them on the car.......
Seems like lightyears from when I first started the "20 questions" process before buying the wheels....Thanks again to all for the feedback and input during and since the desicion making. Ill post pics asap.
John, cant wait to see your wheels!!!!! That set-up is going to be EXTREME on an IS....... Thanks, Tiny

Chris,

It's good to know that you'll get your expensive rims finally. Let's meet after you get them installed, I really like to see them in person.

Congrats, you've got a nice looking GS in Austin.

THAT's the one....2-piece in either silver, or for about $25/rim mmore, you get hyper black.

very reasonablely priced.

Will,

PM me. How reasonable is "reasonable"?

it says super lightweight 2-piece. Are they forged?
