Sorry, but the car and wheels are dirty.
Let me know what you think.

Ya man, I would have loved a larger lip in the rear, but I bought them used so I didnt have much say . Im still happy with them though.

I actually looked at them today, and the rears are about 3/4 of an inch larger.

Ya, they need to be cleaned bad. I actually think im sending them back into fikse on monday to get the centers re-anodized. And I was told they polish the rest of the wheel back up there too.
