+1, with the step lip it looks like you have 17's. The G needs larger wheels to look balanced imho. too much tire wall, not enough wheel and not enough drop. just not feeling it.

first of all the lips are polished, so your argument about it looking "cheap" with chrome lips doesnt fly especially when you back it up by saying you are glad u went with flat black. to me flat black exudes more of a "cheap" feel to a wheel then a polished lip does. flat black gives me the impression of driving around with no hub caps or driving on 4 spares kind of a look.

Post some new pics when you lower the car, I knew you would get sorta flamed for the wheels but if its what you can afford , and what you like then that's all that matters.
Goodluck

The lip's not really polished, it's a cnc finish with clear coat over it, mine's the same way. Not mirror face polish like a lot of other rims.

But I'd have to agree 18's in step lip look REALLY small, cause my 19's look almost too small to me.

You couldn't even spot what these were replicas of to begin with.... Work vsxx?

Anyway, these aren't even replicas of the LM's... The Chikara wheels are... The only thing that might resemble the LM's are the stepped lip and the rivets.... Know your wheels before you start talking chit puto!
