we have some true 2D images and 3D images from the actual CAD file comign this week. ia m test fitting the profile for caliper clearance this week too. We are aiming for a drop center style and don't want to conflict with the calipers.
We also are considering a 20" version, same finish and all, but with a lip.

i think the whole concept of the legend is to NOT have a lip. the deep dish inspyres have a nice lip and hopefully we will see those in production.

Thanks, We are def making the wheel in 18", 19" and 20", the 20" wheel will have a more Concave profile for a nice Concept car look.
Here's the Template test fit on the RL, BBK clearance is perfect even tho it's alot tighter on the TL with the lower offset:

Are they going to be flat gunmetal grey or chrome? Would love to see them in the gunmetal. Unlike some, I'll reserve final judgement, and 12 year old comments, until I see actual production pictures In the meantime, I will continue to provide constructive feedback and criticism.

Actually, we are using a cool new engineering process called Drop center, which allows the saem mold to be used across the different offset board. But the lower offset wheels will have the center milled out to get rid of the uneeded metal in and around the lug nuts. In addition to this engineering and the Pressure cast, Not gravity cast structure, and the Mesh design, these wheelw ill be alot lighter than typical.

They look really HOT! I'd be looking at the 18s but no 8.5 or 9" wider option? I'd like to get some wider rubber to really accentuate how MEAN the rims look.
