From what I read in other posts, tomz are the thin lip, with a 50mm offset.
The ones with the wide lip come from AFS, and have the 38mm offset.
50mm's are recommended to avoid rubbing the tire against the 1/4 panel lip.

The 38mm offset versions come with normal sized lip & deep lug center I think.
From the research I've done on here when search was working, the 17x11's with the wide lip are the 50mm offset made by OE concepts, which is the brand tomzwheels sells but the pics on their website are too small to tell. I've never seen a "here's my 17x11's I got from tomzwheels" thread, so anyone that got 17x11's there post up pics!!! I've seen plenty of pics of these wide lip zr1's in all different finishes around here, just never where they purchased them.....and I gotta have that lip!!

The confusion is Tomz sells both versions of the 17x11 rears - with the lip and without. The OE Concepts 17x11 has the lip. The Factory Reproductions 17x11 has the "deeper lug" look. The 9.5s look exactly the same. Both versions are 50 mm offset.

For my wheels to fit in the back I had to have the fenders rolled and also some massaging of the wheel wheel.
I am the fan of the black with the polished lip. Wished I had a better pic of the rear lug studs. 3" long.

I know you're right because I did a search. I'm curious if I we get a choice when we order.

Mine are the "Fat Lip" ZR1's from Tomzwheels.
When I recieved them they where very heavy with the metallic in the silver paint but no big deal, I just repainted them in Argent silver.
