I like how it's designed with a flat top instead of the upcurved lip that is so typical of larger roof wings, although I'm not overly fond of the large ones.

Who makes that one, OP?

My butt is loving these wheels. Im probably going to get rid of the 20"s this year and either pick up a set of 19"s or just put some michelin pilot sport A/S on these wheels and rock them for the warmer months.
