hey guys...how about the traffic star wheel distributed by aktusa. it is the DTS 3 piece. i wanted to know about the approx size of the lip (you know...nice,,,good size or not) and if it is forged. and while im here...who if anyone is distributing these in the US now since akt was bought out. i have heard 5zigen is not importing them to the US. and lastly, the dronnels II, since it is a cast wheel...soed that mean it will be soft or bend easily. i was really interested in a set untill i found out it is a cast wheel. thanks in advance

The TrafficStars are cast. Cast doesn't mean it's necessarily garbage. There are many good cast wheels. You shouldn't have any particular problems with those wheels...
Most forged wheels are very $$$$$. It's just takes more work to make them.
As for a distributor, you'll just have to find an importer....
As for the lip width, that will depend on the disc setting (high/standard/low) and the offset in addition to the width...there is no "standard"...it varies from wheel to wheel...
Here's the URL...you can look up the lip width based on your width and offset...

still waitin on that URL...
sorrie for all the questions but im learning here...
what is the difference between high..standard...and low disk.
and am i right in saying that the offset will always be the same for the same size wheels? i put some 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 Dronnels II on and it fit great with a 37 and 42 offset. just want to make sure this isnt a variable when selecting other wheels. again...thanks for the help. (dont forget that url)
everyone likes pictures (except for 56k users) so heres a new one jus for the hell of it
