Does anyone own these on a GS and have pics? What size lips are we talking about if fitted on a GS?

Thanks gs4will. So in terms of the big lips that everyone talks about, where do these rank? 2.5 and 3" seems like a pretty big lip. I seen some wheels with 2-3" lips and they are looking sweet!

jpa,

no problem at all that is what my big jdm wheels catalogues are for..
2"/3" on the dish rims appeared to be larger/dpeeper lip than perceived due to the reflection, esp if you have the diamond cut finish..

assuming you do not have the big break caliper in the front, on the spoke rim, such as the VC, i would like to get 3"F/3.25"-3.5" rear...SSR maske great quality rims using semi-solid forging tech..

So with stock brakes I could do a 3"F/3.25"-3.5" rear? That would be sick! So does SSR offer that or is that a custom order? I was also looking at a Versus spoke wheel.... But it seems both of these come in 19". I could deal with 19" but 20" would be nice.

jpa,

i think my wording was a bit confusing, my bad...

on the VC 19s, with stock break you will get ~2.5/3.1" lips, respectively....

if you want something deeper(3"/3.25-3.5"), you would need to go with some models of the work eurolines,

or the versus isottas in 19x8+9(+45 offset,68mm/+45, 80mm lipR:eek: )..

or 19x9, +45/80mm f and 19x10, +45/93 mm r...:eek:

either model you choose, cannot go wrong...

At the TX2k2 meet I saw a SupraTT with Blitz O3's that appeared to have a 4" lip. Too bad the diameter only goes up to 18".
If you like any of the Zauber designs, they make 19" applications for the GS that offer lips as large as 4.5".....
