Try the Hamanns....They arent Identical, but they are close enough.. The HM2's dont have the rivets. But i think The HM3's and PG's have rivets. There Lips are an easy 3 to 4 inchs deep.

onefat,

Have you tried the RDM site. They show these wheels as being new. Check this out. I still think you chose one of the nicest wheels out there.

RDM Site - ST5s

thanks for all the feedback. i have called local rim shops and no one has a set in stock. And yes maya and maido are really the same company. I dont think i would go with black, dont get me wrong they look really good i just think i would get tired of the black after a while. what do doyu guys think of the lowenhart ld5 pic below

They look like they have a wide lip...maybe 3-4 inches.
