That looks very good. Very clean kit, not really feelin the wheels, something with a bigger lip would have been better, but Wald has to show off their wares

I personally think this looks great, I know everyone is stuck on the 8inch lip fad but this car looks very classy and the wheels look great, not sure more lip would be a good thing with the finish of the wheels.

oh yeah it will be. i agree having 8" lip will be ridiculous and look hideous. to me anything more than 4" on 20s start to push it, and for 22" i think i might be able to settle with 5. and trust me, having more lips on this car and this style of wheel will look a lot better

I have to agree, I think the "toilet bowl" look (7 and 8" lips) is being pushed by good ole "one-upmanship". One guy has a 4inch lip, next guy wants a 5 next wants a 6. I had a guy the other day tell me he wanted to go with 22x11 with a 6" lip on a CLS!!! I'm look good luck buddy!

Anyhow, 4" looks perfect on 20", 4.5 is doable.

4.5 is perfect on 22, I say 5" is doable.
