This picture has been around for a while but I didn't remember seeing it posted here (if a repost...sorry guys)

I wonder if this lip thing is going to go the way of huge SUV Wheels...never too big, never too deep? These are way too much for me...but that's just my subjective opinion...I'm sure there are plenty of people that like the look. Either way...enjoy the pic

Are those 20"s? They look a bit small and the car needs to be dropped like an inch or so.

The car looks too high - is this a sports package equipped car?

Probably not. It has chrome trim around the windows.

Is that the front shock I see behind the tire? Needs to be lowered about 1.5in. A bit too much lip for me. Just my .02.

The depth of the lip is due to the size of the wheels. Those are 19s...if it was 20 the lip wont be that deep. I've seen 5.5 inch deep lips on a wide body m3...really really hot.

Not bad.. I know it is a Dutch member and I like the fact that he wants to do something different with his car so from me!
