Deep Dish wheels vs Non Deep Dish
I'm on the market for new wheels 19" or 20" and wondering if there are any pro/cons of deep dish wheels(bigger lips). Does deep dish wheels make the wheels look smaller than they actually are? More likely to bend? What are your views?

Def love the look of a deep dish over non-deep dish
Cant really speak for anything technical.
Deep dish probably offers less clearance of brake calipers... dont quote me on it though

Plus one for deep dish, though some people go overboard and they start looking like cartoons. I like a conservative staggered deep dish, maybe 3" lip or so on the rears.

Check my sig, I love the lip style, yes the deep dish does make the rim look smaller mostly from a side view, it depends on the look you go for.
I think the although it looks smaller from the side the larger lip definitely makes the angled/rear look much more agressive.
The likelihood of rims bending is mostly based on the construction of the rim, what its made of, and overall quality.
If you are in the market for already a Sevas Forged ( i think the ones posted were forged) there are tons or nice rims out there for that kind of price.
