I got a 5" lip in the rear. No problems at all. Leaking means you probably have a bent rim. My chrome lip pit and flaked after a year. Not very noticeable unless you get very close. I got my lip painted black now. So that fixed the flaking chrome.
I'll post pics when I get home.

Man, I saw a white G37 coupe the other day, and the back wheels on that thing (5-spoke, chromes), must've had 7" lips on them. Look real sexy on that car.
I've tried to rationalize it, but the $300 price +/- did not include shipping, and there was like a 30-day turnaround, because they had to be shipped to California, and there was a disassembly and assembly charge, because they are 3-piece wheels.
I went to an Asanti dealer, and since the face of the wheels are in great shape, they suggested replacing the barrels, at $750 per wheel, (300 inner, $450 outer). I have them stacked up in my storage bin right now- been there over a year. I might sell 'em, if I can.

Get yourself a set of Beyern Rims!!! These are awesome rims no leaking problem, no need for spacers cuz they are made for BmW'S, and they also have some with lips. I got the RAPP style and the rear has a 3inch lip the front has a 2 inch lip. Thats good enough for me. 
Good luck on your find.

Normally I don't like black rims, but you have made an excellent choice, and they set your car off quite nicely. I'm sure that's a head turner everywhere you go.

As for the fix, if they blast them, and polish the drums- that would work for me- they wouldn't have to re-chrome them. I found a place in Southwest Dallas (West of downtown) that wanted me to ride over so they could take a look, but I never went down there. Where is the place you are speaking of?

I have MRR GT1s and the rear lip is 4" deep, which, again, is the only reason they're still on my car. Just buy my MRR 20s then I can get some new wheels!

Yep, the friend I got these Asanti's from, took these off his car in favor of the 22" MRR's (Machined lip) just like the one's you have there.
