Lips like Angelina

I was browsing a local companies website and stumbled across this.

Leon Hardiritt is offering up to 200mm Lips on some of their wheels. The lowest offset they are offering for this is on the Bugel and is -54

negative on the comment above, deep dish will never go out, its Step Lip that is going out (looks dumb because it makes dish appear smaller) concave is the hawtness though

edit: ahhh fail i was too late LOL

Doubt that bro. Only thing that can push deep dish out is Deep Dish Concave like the Vorsteiner V308 and even that will be a stretch.

Correct me if I'm wrong but 200mm is 7.87 inches.

For over a year Lexani has been offering wheels with up to a 12" lip:







Of course there is no way in hell they will fit on the TL, but an almost 8" lip is meh compared to a 12" lip.

LMFAO, funny ass post title! Deep dish will never be out man! The only that sucks is tire tread wear with camber and no tire rotation!

I wasn't digging that with my autocoutures.

Yea Leon Hardiritt is releasing 200mm lips, saw this in the latest vipcar magazine. the biggest is actually 19x13-82. what im unclear about is whether they will offer every size in between, or just the standard sizes + these over sized lips. I'm hoping to make a set of these my next set of wheels.

As for those ghetto fabulous wheels...thats cheater lip with that convex face...this is true lip size.

And theres no such thing as "dish is on the way out, concave is the new ish" Buy rims that you like, not that are "in style"

Only cars that are gonna be able to run those are RWD Wide body rides. I doubt we will see any of those on a FWD car anytime soon.

any wheel company can make it as big as they want.

the thing is, there are no tires that can accommodate these wheel sizes...

I was told by vip modular this info.

Satin isn't completely flat. it's in the middle of glossy and flat (or matte),
but i think it leans a little more toward the flat side.

At least thats what i noticed in the paint isle at home depot

3 years Ago:

Way over 200mm or Lip...



My boys Deep Dish Landscaping...



I think that these japanese companies are offering these massive lips to cater to the US market...

I completely disagree about the stepped lips going out of style... I think that they will never go out... look at most of the build now-a-days... they are mostly rocking stepped lips cause it's stylish and functional... I personally love stepped likes... 'cause those are the only wheel lips that can handle NYC cratterville roads... 2 years and ZERO bends...
