how come everytime someone posts a rim shot, there's always a cell phone on the lip? I think its common practice that aftermarket rims will have a signficant lip on them.
edit: forgot to add that it looks great though
another comment....is it me, or do you have 5 locking lugs on each wheel?

locking bolt set... phone was planced to give a visual idea of how the lip is.. even with that people will still ask how wide... so hopefully they've seen those phones before and have an idea.. hey and thanks for the positive feedback guys.. really appreciate it.. I spent some time washing them up this morning

you're gonna hate washing them after a while, I know I do. Oh, and wait til you need to polish the lips. I recommend you do it periodically and not wait until they're trashed

I'm sure I'll be washing my car and wheels more often.. but they do look great when they're clean.. so it's all worth it.

Very, very nice, phattbam! I was considering these before, but HRE's are way out of budget...oh man, just wish I had cash fallin' from the sky to use...then it'd be no problem....

Drex, I noticed in your future mods link, you've chosen an awsome set of OZ's. I can be hard to please when it comes to aftermarket wheels (probably why I dont own any), But I have to say that I'd love either set, yours and Phattbam's. The deep rear offset is killer, and makes the cars look planted on the ground.

I intended on having these already, but a lot of things have been stepping in the way. For now, the 17's are cool. I'm just hoping that my tires last me until that time. I'm at 19,000 miles on these Pilot sports and if I have to buy tires, it's gonna set me back.

.Yeah, I do like the 17's, I've even thought about updating mine to that style, but your on the right track with those OZ's, it would be a drag to have to re-tire the 17's again...........whats the special twist?

LINK: OEM parts
They sell all OEM parts.
Sorry moderators, if this is against forum policy, I'll take the link down, but since it's OEM parts, just tryin' to steer peeps in the right direction.
