Are you guys still making wheels with the CF lip? If so, how have they been holding up? Also with the wheels with the CF lip, can you pin stripe them instead of the thick color border?

Think of going with the 03s with a CF lip, brilliant silver pin stripe, and possibly a satin charcoal / satin titanium gray face.... possible for an E55??

Don't get me wrong.... I love CF, but I think that might be a little over kill for a wheel... almost like putting a CF hood on a W211.... all I need is a touch of CF for accent and im good.

Dude.... there's no such thing as too much carbon fiber.

CF face, lip, silver pinstripe, black hardware. Or, CF face, black lip, silver pinstripe, black hardware.

Win, win, win.

No way... you need something to break that up all the CF... either one or the other...lip or face... Im with you 100% on the black hardware and the pinstripe....


On a monoblock I would go with all CF but a multi.... I don't know... I know I would cream my britches when I saw it but for the sake of argument... why not.

they hold up great. the only way we've been able to remove it is to sandblast it off. we haven't been able to extend the carbon around the bend of the lip so we still have a pretty thick pin stripe. here's what we came up with for clients that prefer a smaller stripe. let me know what you think. thanks, alain
