Nonetheless, sick rims though, compliment your car nicely.

it is a 4" lip...help me understand why that does not seem big. i had to cut my axles and fenders to get these things in there.
perhaps since it is a step lip it isn't as long?

After looking extremely closely I realized that's what it is, the step lip makes it seem like it's only a tiny lip. I bet in real life it doesn't give that illusion.
Never seen stepped lips before, or maybe I haven't noticed them....is that an HRE thing?

any wheel manufacturer will make a standard lip wheel, but everyone is doing the reverse lip now, and it is more popular. i wanted to do something a little different, and i think the standard (step) lip looks a little racier. the wheels i was replacing are reverse lip.
i had to trim the axle stubs to clear the caps, since the backpads are so low. i wanted the lips as big as possible.
I work for HRE as a mechanical engineer, and I handle the fitments. i created this fitment to be very aggressive, but not rub in the front. i knew that i would have to cut the fenders and axles. Since i work there, the price was lower than normal.
