I really like the deep lip look that the Zenetti, Lowenhart and the Renegades have. What do you mean by rolling the fender and what does it cost? Would you recommend sticking with 9.5" in the rear?

 

I think you were referring to my Radenergie wheels when you said Renegades. I have 10" wide in the rears and they did rub a bit with lots of passengers that's why I got the fenders rolled. The process involves assembling a tool to the wheel hub. The other end of the tool has a roller that presses on the insides of the fenders. The technician would then roll it back and forth to roll in the fender lips so that they don't rub against the tires. During this process they would also use a heat gun to heat up the paint so that it doesn't crack. I had just that one fender rolled for $30 but there are places that would charge $75 per side.

It's not a complicated process so I would go with 10" instead of 9.5". Some on this forum have 10.5" and I haven't heard of any problems.

 

Thanks for the explaination! Sorry for the mispelling...I've been on 3 different trips to the east coast in the last 3 weeks...currently in Ohio for the night!

Rubbing may or maynot be an issue for me since I'll have 3 kids (1 with heavy backpack, 2 in car seats) that I have to take to school every morning.
I really like your wheels though and the fender rolling process doesn't sound like a big deal to have done!

 

I wasn't sure if you mispelled it or referring to some other wheels called Renegades. I even did a search for them and I actually found Renegade Wheels but they're made for motorcycles... http://www.renegadewheels.com/

Yeah, rolling fenders is not a big deal at all.

Excellent ride quality, comfort, and very quiet.
Posting pictures of mine tomorrow.

 

Here are the pictures as promised. I wish I have the Hamann springs with me and I'm sure once they are installed, the car would look stunning.
