That's just how any multipiece wheel is going to be. The faces are smaller than the overall diameter of the wheel because the face is separate from the lip and in order to bolt the face to the lip and then to the barrel, there needs to be that area for the bolts. Check any 3 piece splits, the face is always a little smaller than the overall wheel because of this

For reference, here's a 3 piece wheel when disassembled. Notice how the lip and face are designed



When assembled



And a 2 piece wheel for reference. Notice the lack of that space you mentioned, most 2 piece wheels don't have that since the lip and face are one piece and the barrel is the other. I'll take this time to whore a picture of one of my wheels lol

Brian IMO this is the best wheel and tire combo on your ride to date. The blue lugs and bbk make your lighting pop so much more. Props for a job well done the S1's look mean!

What size BBK do you have? I was thinking bout the 2pc 14in 4-Piston from Rotora. Is the difference b/w Rotora and Brembo very noticeable?

Hahah. That's what I thought after because it looks bigger.
At first I thought it was the JDM spoiler because it has similar styling to the Sarona.

Okay, the weather was ridiculously warm yesterday (and still is today but it's raining, covered spot FTW) so I put the sarona roof spoiler on. It looks fking sick. REALLY sets that rear end off nicely

Pictures suck, canon sd850is, took half ass shots, another photoshoot might come, with my buddy and his Jaguar XK coupe..

Also trying to fit another photoshoot my friend with the R8 again. He crashed his RS4 (daily driver) into a siderail in the snow.. so as it's getting fixed, he bought himself a Range Rover sport supercharged limited edition (forgot the name of the edition but there were only 100 made in the US). lol.

And I apologize for the delay with the headlights, they're still being worked on. Another week and a half? Just ordered Kaixen 6500K for the inner HID, while running 6000K for the regular HID (outer one).

oh man, your car looks so DYNAMIC right now with the meisters! I seriously can say that this is one of the nicest TL i have ever seen! (notice i didn't say just nbp) =o totally nice ride Brian

I really dig the stepped lip wheels nowdays....I myself am trying to go away from the Jdm look to the TL and be more of a Euro look which seems to be what you are doing as well =] time to poke those meisters!

keep up the good work man
