kinda on topic...i'm seeing more stepped lip wheels. i'm more used to straight flat lip wheels. question: is there a big diff between the two besides the obvious on looks? does one provide more rigidity than the other? curious

thanks for posting more pics ericdbs

thanks for all the nice comments... i really appreciate it..
well to answer some questions... i might need to roll the rear fender to avoid any major rub,,, i just notice he rubb more when i was leaving the place that lowered my car..with all the weight of the oem rims and tires and springs weighed down the rear a bit i also add spacers i think 10mm so im thinking that also contributed to some rub..its really not much.

i would love to make it to the event on the 6 of jan...im planning on it i will have my bro cover my shift...is there anything i can help to bring??? i know some want corona's... im down..

i went with the step lip for the durability from what i was told it makes the rim a bit stronger.. i see alot of flat lips.. i wanted to go different..im happy with the wheels... i was told that jline would never do the black chrome finish.... they said it was the hardest to do... so as far as i know..im the only one with the finish...

thanks again for the comments.. ericd

Nah, don't bring anything except for your ride. I've read before that some people question whether you're real or not. Except for EBMCS03, he's got something of yours to validate your existence.
