damn, 5.5 inch lip. nuts. Do u ever plan to do a BBK? I would highlyrecoommend you doing a BBK of some sort. Its going to look lame with stock cars running a stock BBK and you have super small one with HUGE rims.

Thing that worried me the most about the 2 style rims, are the weight differences between styles. I was going to do 2 styles b/c my cars a full show car but went against it b/c my rims are the heavist sytle they make and anything else would of weighed less, thus affecting the cars balance (i think)

I have no clue if i know what im talking about, lol. CAn't wait to eat dinner off your lip. 5.5" is bigger than some guys..... Hopefully u ain't overcompensating!! ha ha jk

you make a great point but thats why i chose the 2 wheels with the exact same weight....they are both cut out from the same aluminum mold

im sure its still not as ideal as having same all around, but thats ok for me

well...its going to be 5.5" because it is a "cheater lip". the spokes curve in.

Hmmm...we'll have to see how it looks mounted. I'm generally not a fan of that "genre" or wheels. Plenty of exceptions to that rule, for me, so we'll see...

Many reasons they split with D'Vinci......basically they wanted to concentrate on just high end 3 piece wheels.....the 2 brothers sold it off to the 3rd partner....

If you get a BBK, go for Stoptech.
