Any wheel with a flat lip that large will be weaker than a stock wheel because the supporting structure lays behind the lip, not above it.
By the way, we have those wheels in stock.

Hope to see you again as well
Yes we are the Fab 5 and there is nothing I wouldnt do for these guys and girl and I am sure the feeling is likewise
I think there is a new name for us on the horizon
I will let Ken make the official debut!
It pertains to 6 of us

Everytime when we try to impress a member of the female origin, we end up crashing and burning.
Doesn't matter if we're a 17 year old, 27, 37, or 47.
We just can't seem to think or drive straight anymore.
Why is that?
