Don't take this as a shot at your setup dude (because everybody is doing this), but am I the only person that thinks the gigantic 3" lip that everybody is getting in the back the ugliest thing you've ever seen?
I like the lip on the front rims people are getting...offsets of like +30-38 or so, but the enormous giant lip that EVERYBODY is getting in the rears makes them look like SUV deep dish bling bling rims.
Obviously people are doing this to align the edge of the tire/wheel to the edge of the fender so it doesn't look awkward, but maybe using a spacer or something would look more tasteful. If anything at least get the same offset.
Anybody have the same opinion as me? lol

Cool man. I also remember talking to my local high performance wheel/tire shop and one of the guys told the offsets are designed to also establish the same center of gravity with the wider wheel setup as well. I can't really establish anything in my head to have it make sense though. hehe
The rims rock by the way. Really dig the style. Do they have the different faces like the GT-Cs for the front and rear?

bknezevic,
When I ordered the rims they did not mention different faces but he did ask wether I had brembos or not and seem to base what offset I should get on my answer.
