Going to see about refitting the fronts. I have plenty of room to spare so we should be able to rebarrel them to get much more lip.

Think it's just the lighting. Same size wheels (19s) as what I had before, except the rears are now 9.5s instead of my previous 9s. Pics were taken right as they left the lift, so needs a little more time to settle down also.

It looks ok. 1000x better than your last set. I can't take my eyes off the brakes to even notice the wheels.

oh ya... forgot to ask...

you keeping the lip chrome? nothing else on your car is chrome... so was wondering...

a white lip would look fit in nicely with the theme of your car.

what you thinking?

I think he's right. The white lip would set it off.

I thought about white lips, but chrome lips gives it a classier look imo. Although just to play around with the look, I was going to have my vinyl guy vinyl the lips white or black with white pinstripe just to change things up now and then. It's 3-piece, so fairly easy to get the lips redone whenever I want, but little skeptical of white lips cause the front and rear lip is still not deep enough to pull off the look.

They're not cheap, but cheaper than HREs. HRE 597Rs were in the running, along with Klassen K5.1s, but Manu from DPE stepped up and offered this new design to me at a sponsorship deal I couldn't resist. Props to Stan at Toyo also for tire sponsorship as well. Came out to a near even exchange for what I sold the old wheels for.

My interior guy up in Norcal was backed up due to SEMA so wasn't able to get it done before I moved down to Socal. Now trying to source another shop to take care of it. Have a few, but been busy with the move, SEMA, dealing with these wheels, and a charity car show event I'm helping to run (more on this later!) to take care of it. It's still on the agenda as the next item though.
