Default Custom wheels

I'm finally ready to buy custom rims for my '89 auto coupe. I'm looking for wheels that have a lot of lip on them...I'm open for all and any suggestions. Thankx in advance.

I think the Iforged wheels have the biggest lip available, and I think HRE has a new wheel style that has more lip than its previous designs.

If your look for deep dished iForged wheels, I have a big fat lip going on a 94 C4 next week. It's an all 19 inch setup.

A popular size for the C4 is an 18 or 19 inch wheel with a 3inch deep dish on an 11 inch wide wheel. These setups have an aggressive setup like the Grand Sport. I can have also got a setup lined up for a C4 with ZR1 flares that will fit a 4inch lip :eek: ...yup 4inch lip.


Shoot me and Email at RCswish@yahoo.com and we can see what setups are possible.

Robert :D

Hey Swish. Are those Fikse FM5's on the floor? Any chance of ZR1 Fitments? 17 or 18x10 fronts and 18x12 Rears Full polish?

Cvette...those are iForged wheels. The 5 blade is called the AERO. I have a 19x12 AERO on my C5. I have been DIEING to do a ZR1. I have the offsets all worked out to some pretty wild applications. PLEASE shoot me an email if your interested...RCswish@yahoo.com
