First of all...THANKS!!!!!!!! I really appreciate the response here. I decided to go with "A" even though the vote favors "B". I am going for the lip. I was just informed "B" has a 5" and "A" is 4". Not a determining factor. I am leaning towards "B" because I feel it is more aggressive. Here's the kicker...MY WIFE ACTUALLY LIKES THE WHEELS!!! The fact that she showed an interest is pretty cool.

I should have the wheels in about 2 weeks. I will post pictures ASAP. I will also let everyone know about the quality and the buying experience with ByDesign. Thanks again guys!

huhhhh. didn't understand your post jk996tt. did you go with A or B. FYI "A" also comes with a 5" lip, since Rodis used to have them on his TT. plus a 5" lip would make a lighter wheel and stronger, since the the load would be directly on the spokes.
just a thought, but i'm sure you know.

Good Choice!

I went with the HRE540's with Brushed Rims and Brilliant Silver painted centers, looks good on the Seal Gray... yours will look great! (I think either choice would have looked great..)

Both are way too blingy for a sports car.

But I like B better. A is just another BBS imitator.

BBS imitator??? Wow, that's funny. You're right, I should just buy the BBS 19" wheels with the 5" lip...what was I thinking? As for blingy...I would think 22" chrome Giovanna wheels would be blingy. I guess you're entitled to your wrong opinion....
