I really like these wheels. There was a set for sale on e-bay for $1500 and I really wanted to bid, but someone told me the offsets would not work on my car

The new Turbo Wheels are nice . . . but they suffer from the same problem as the last ones. They do not have that NIZE LIP which is mostly a cosmetic/taste issue . . . but seems it would also translate to a huge 11" barrel cantilevered offf the front face on the rears . . . just waiting to be bent that much easier.

he's saying that they adjust the wheel offset so that wheel has a 3-4" lip.

this one is a little ghetto, but it's an extreme example so you can see what we're talking about.





I am not sure if there is any truth to the wheels bending more easily with a bigger lip. I, as well as lots of us on here run front and rear wheels with lips. Some of the widebody conversions run massive lips like the one in the pic above. I personally really like it, I just don't like this particular wheel. I'm highly averse to shiny parts on cars
