The wheel specs are the same. The first photo is just the face pulled out of the barrel so it looks like theres no lip

Thanks for the compliments. The wheels have the same specs as before but the centers have been sandblasted and been in a machine that sealed the surface in different steps with plastic cones and they very in size.

Here is a picture of the process.




I don't know how it's called but it's not chromed or polished.
