Does any one have any info about the craftsmanship about these wheels. My freind said that they are know offs of a better wheel. For the price I really like them but Im looking for the fat lip so my understanding is the lower offset the more lip? Im also looking at the search menu also so please dont flame me.


Thanks

Chuy

Good quality wheels. With these wheels the lower offset you go does not make the lip larger.

I've got some 17x8s. I think they're lighter than my steelies.

I have them in 17x8+27 and 17x9+35. The spokes of the 9" caves in more and look more aggressive. (See pic) I kinda wished I went for 17x9+15 for the more aggressive spokes. I used 7mm spacers in the front to clear my Tein HE.

I like them cuz there're potholes everywhere in NYC and they hold up very well so far. Trade off? They're VERY heavy!!
