Oh yeah. Ur ride is definitely hot.
Thanks for the compliment!

Well, in terms of lip width or as you called it - 'deeper dish' - it all depends on personal preference. My goal was to maximize the lip width in the rear while keeping the rim flush to the fender. I also didn't want to go too extreme. I just wanted to keep it practical, highly functional, yet aggressive.
Every rim is different, but with these in particular, +19 offset in the front and +17 offset in the rear is ideal.

In terms of how big you can go with SF-Winnings, 19" is the largest size.

You can go up to -3 offset with a 19x10.5 (with rim depth of 111mm), but that might be a little too extreme.

Also, with bigger wheel size, hp/acceleration decreases as the weight of your car increases with heavier rims. For optimal performance, 17" and 18" wheels are recommended, and for 'cartoony'/baller status, I guess 20" would do. But I think 19" wheels (as you will find out from many forum members here) is a happy medium between performance and looks. IMO, 19" is the perfect wheel size in terms of proportions of the wheels to the car's proportions and stance.

Hope this helped! I've also included a chart that you can refer to. This is straight outta Ray's Engineering/Volk Racing's 2008 Products Catalog.

You could also look into Work VS-XX (which you can go up to 20"), Work Meister S1, or other Volk Racing rims that give you the lip look (GTS, SF-Challenge, GTF). Those are some of the rims that I was considering before I got the SF-Winnings.

thanks guys!
as much as i like it, i am considering swapping the sf-winnings with some TE37s, CE28Ns, or Advan RS...
some monoblocks, since I am starting to get into autocrossing and tracking.
