Default Chrome Wheels With Stepped Lip???

I've been looking at hundreds of different wheels. I'm definately going with chrome because my car is a daily driver and don't want the hassles that come with maintaining polished wheels

I have yet to find a reasonably priced chrome wheel with a deep lip. Seems like all the chrome wheels are flat flaced with no dish (Z06's, Zr1's etc..) I definately can't afford CCW or Iforged or any other premier wheels, so those are not an option. I guess painted wheels would be ok but my car is black, and chrome wheels look so damn good on black cars.

Is there such a thing as a fair priced deep dish chrome wheel? I'm looking to spend no more than $1000 for a whole set of 17x9.5's or 17x9's

Any suggestions? Pictures are always appreciated Thanks guys

Not really.

You might be able to find something from Billet Specialties, Intro, HP Designs but I think for a lip like you're wanting your budget needs to increase a bit more in order to facilitate this.

TTIIs could work, but I seriously dont know how many 9/9.5" wheels there are with a lip like Im thinking you want...

Yeah, I love how the TT2's have the stepped lip, looks great, but I hear that they're a pain to keep up with. Maybe clearcoat would help but I've also heard of problems with that too

wait a minute... are you looking for stepped lip wheels or flat lip wheels? cuz the ones i listed dont have stepped lips, but rather like 3.5" flat lips.

also, forgot to mention hp evo and hpr5 dont come in chrome, but i believe the rest do. and the rpm 505 is the same as hp evo, but it comes in chrome.

I would prefer the stepped lip (like on the TT2) looks so awesome especially on lowered cars. The flat lip wheels are cool too. I was just looking at that sportmax wheel and it looks very similar to the fikse fm5

Thanks for all your help btw
