After:


The lip is about 3 1/2 inches wide. That is my son's gameboy and it measured exactly 3 in. how its sitting there.

Sorry, but IMO I don't really like them. The lip looks good, but that curve design is not. But they are original, I've never seen them before.

After just watching an episode of American Chopper I've come to the conclusion that those look like they belong on a Chopper. I thought to myself earlier that they looked like wheels that I've seen on something else...now I know.

Thanks guys.
What I like about them is that the air valve is on the inside of the rim so the lip is totally flat the whole way around You can reach it between the spokes, pretty nice factor
