I thought I'd share this with all of you. I don't like the design of the wheel because it looks like something that Foose or Boyd would make but the offsets and aggressive look of the wheels are sick. And the lips all around

They look like they are from the 1980's. Also, anyone that pays $14,500.00 for a set of four wheels should be shot in the head. I wouldn't pay $600.00 for those....

Neither would I smart a$$. The stance is what I like.

Actually, if you are dealing with a shop, and the shop knows what they are doing, they can help you deal with the Rim manufacturer when placing the order to get the most aggressive offset possible for your vehicle.

I pretty much maxed out with a 2" lip front and 3.5" lip rear with clearance for BBK on my car.....thanks to Darwin at Sonic MS, and Yuya at VIP Modular =)

Didnt mean to sound like I was taking a shot at you . I just get upset when I see stupid people charging a million dollars for wheels haha. They look like what the mini-trucks used to use in the late 1980's. I could just see those on a slammed Nissan pick-up truck driving up and down Virgina Beach on spring break haha.

Custom wheel manfucturers like iForged and Kinesis and what not could custom make wheels for you with fat lips via big offsets. You just have to make sure your fenders will clear haha.

Yeah, looks like Chip Foose designed them for the Batmobile.
I have the same stance with the addition of 10mm spacers.

Those are sick...they'd be crazy on an slr. the stance is awesome. good pick

DevilsAngel

ya the actual wheels are not ok...they look like if they were to somehow fly off the car and hit someone,that person would be dead! sorry a little morbid, but thats what they look like to me.

Now, the stance and the lip is freakin HOT!!!!

CLK FAN

I'm on a mission to try the same thing today with some spacers. Look out for pics.

I got the spacers but I need the right bolts because I got 15mm hub centric spacers and the bolts these people had weren't long enough. I won't be able to run spacers up front because I'm maxed out with my new thicker tires. I could slap some 8mm or 10mm up front but it would just be for pictures and not driving.

love the stance of that sl but the rims look like they belong on a hot rod, 57 chevy maybe.

Ahhhh bro, Can't wait to see that ish man!

I was looking at some DPE wheels bro, wow 3.5 lip in the back!! You heard of them right? some sick rims with some nice finishes.

I had a set of the RO7 Variant S in 19" staggered. If I would have bought them in 20" I would probably still have them.
