Here are the Iforged Astras that I have ordered for my '03tt (shown on Viper here). These are from the Precision Series as well and I was told by Iforged supplier that they are 4" lips.

These look like 4" to me.

the lip size are measured by the actual outer lip, not from the outer edge to the face of the lip. The wheel centers are .75 " to 1" thick

I didn't know that was they way they are measured. I can see where it could be 5" if you are counting the piece that "folds" to the edge of the tire.

Great choice, the I-forged Astras are stunning. I would prefer to leave them brushed because they contrast so well. Looks great!!

Yeah, the rims below are 4inch...the precision series for the porsche 996tt are 5 inch. It was the deciding factor for me to go with Iforged. Hre's i believe are the 4inch.
The color is a custom mix between anthracite and hypergunmetal and offset I belive is 34in rear...however iforged seems to design there own offset based on specs (lowered, brake size, how aggresive you want it, e.t.c)
Thanks for the compliements!
