^ thxs.

I'm not sure exactly how low it is compared to factory. I just know that I bottom out on big dips and can't go over speed bumps without scrapping my exhaust.

When I was looking for new wheels I got in touch with someone who contacted the manufacturer... they said they can only build the wheels to what the specs are on the dimension sheet. I was going to get the Ordens too, but couldn't get a low enough offset so I went with Weds Kranze LXZ.

what company out there sell just the other barrel? and are they blank barrels or you need send your wheel out to be drill for the bolts to fit? Im curious too cause if i can get a barrel made with the outter lip at 7in im game cause alot of company only offers certain size and can't go out any further then 125mm-145mm in 3pc

And donpisto if you love the style of the waffes your best bet is to go with the d3s cause they offer a more bigger size lip but the highest is by 11 tho.

^^well the ones i know of are for euro cars

for example

http://store.blackforestindustries.com/volkswagen.html

i mean yeah its only a 3" outer lip but i suppose they are made specific for the cars

u can also try these guys, very reputable

http://www.felgen-man.de/english/indexenglish.html

but once again they are euro, they MIGHT do jdm because i know there is a black lexus ls in texas or somewere that bought from them some oz futuras, expensive yes but if they can do that im sure they can do the lips


also try these places

it was pretty sweet to watch the gradual change on your car. i was wondering what VIP meant. I saw a pretty natural progression. and then a STRIPPER POLE. BAM.

That's the problem..only goes up to 11..i want 12 rears. Basically when I get new wheels I'm going with extended fenders.

Darn, that freakin sucks...guess an option is to get some custom wheels but eh...from what's been goin on the forums, i'm not sure thats such a great idea.

yea thats why i decided to go a different route. But what i was thinking if i really wanted the Work wheels by 12 i will just get them by 11 in the offset i want and just have them widen the inside barrel.
