Pics of FC's with a nic lip on the rim please.

I am getting rid of my 16x8 +25 rims soon and wanted to see some pics of 16" or 17" wheels that have a nice lip on them.

I am trying to keep stock fenders...but cut or rolled if need be. I also have no problem getting 30mm fronts if I have to.

I have about 1200 bucks to spend and want a flush fit.


thanks

I bet those rims are from an old pontiac firebird / trans-am. Looks just like the old honeycomb alloy rims they used. I believe almost all american cars with rare exception used 5x4.5" (5x114.3) lugs too back then.... They could also be the 16x8's from the late 80's / early 90's gtus too ~rich

the wheels on that takkun.net car?

those meshes are actually SSR Formula Mesh wheels, they look badass
and theyre not made by the american SSR (tirerack sells their stuff), theyre made by the japanese SSR wheel company (they got the same logos, and to this day i still dont understand why)
