Default Deep Dish RimZ!
Why is it that we can't throw on deep dish rims like real deep ones 5 inch offset or so. I have seen this done on the M3's and it looks freaking awsome any way to mod and make this happen?

I had 4.5 inch deep Lowenharts on my Benz and loved them! Can't do it with a C5 unless you change out the entire rear end.

Love the wheels, EFI-1. The lip on them really sets them off.

4" here as well. NC Forged can produce the wheels with as much as a 6" lip but I would have had to scrap the big rotors. As it was I still had to machine the center lug (For lack of a better term) off of the caliper in order to eliminate the spacer and keep the tire inside the fender well. Photo was taken with the stock caliper with a 3/8" spacer. Spacer had to be installed to eliminate the center lug on the caliper from hitting the spokes. Sorry, no photos with modified caliper.

Foose makes a 5'' lip on a chrome rim that fits vettes.
19''/20'' wheel combo.
Another forum member has them. It is the yellow Vert owned by BickyDhadwal. VERY
