Looks good, the fitment is nice. We must measure the rims differently: to me, that's a 2" front lip and a 5" rear lip... either way, the rear is BIG!
Derrick, just an FYI: there have been issues with the 19" front & 20" rear set-ups on these cars.
Since they are all-wheel drive, they are VERY sensitive to tire circumference differences front-to-rear.
I know that at least one wheel company has purchased a new Murcielago tranfer case due to the 19/20" fitment and the effects of the difference from OE - an expensive proposition (about $30K+) since Lamborghini won't warranty it due to the aftermarket wheel and tire set-up. My advice to the car owner - ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS put the stock wheels back on the car any time you take it in for service. Lamborghini has been known to "red flag" cars that have aftermarket parts on them - this could come back to haunt you if there is a future issue. Just a friendly heads-up!

I am not sure how you guys measure wheels, but the Murci
has a 2.5" outer and a 6.0" inner barrel in the front
in the rear a 6" outer and a 7" inner barrel
