those look nice! doesn't seem like much of a stagger though, unless it's just the angle

Well they're both 45mm and the rear is only 1" wider. So you'll only see a 1/2" stagger at the outer lip and another 1/2" hiding on the inner lip.

Its the lip from Taiwan that a couple vendors on here sell. You can get them way cheaper on eBay or alibaba though.

Powerwheels Pro uses TUV/JWL certified sources. Not everyone does. Must be careful about lookalikes which are not really of similar quality. Having bought three sets of wheels from PWP, I've experienced the difference!

We're talking about the carbon fiber lip, not the wheels.....But that is good to know on the wheels.

Sorry...a small misunderstanding on my side. I understand lips are on wheels and a chin spoiler goes under the front fascia. Lips vs chins!! LOL! As once said about the English and the Americans, "we are divided by a common language!"

Ran over a 4-by on my drive to Denver and bent a front wheel, that's why I bought these new wheels.
Already sold 2 of the remaining 3 OEM wheels on eBay.
