WHEELS?: 5 or 6 spoke with Lips on the Rear
Anyone have any pics or Ideas? I'd like a nice rear lip on the rears. Also I'd like a lighter than stock if at all possible.

Why not get a set of HRE 547Rs? they are lighter and stonger then stock. And i can fit a nice large polished lip on the rear.
Or what about Renntech monolites? 18lbs? only they are 10 spoke.

Im looking for a deep dish in the rear and a normal in the front. I also only want a silver colored finish. No black or gray. How heavy are the ones by TSW on your site? HREs are a little too common and although I dont mind paying for a name, I just think you pay a LOT more for a name with HRE.

HRE's may be common, but they are just about the best quality wheel out there. They are light, and yet strong. I can fit a large rear lip on HRE, Iforged, or Avus wheels.
