Default Big Lips

hey i been lookin at rims around on here, and everywhere else, i have the stock 10 spokes, but i am slowly growing more and more fond of the fikse rims as well as rims with a nice lip on them, i guess the technical term is offset?? i'm a mechanic not a rim-ologist (don't worry it'll b on wikipedia later) anyway would you guys with nice offset rims post pix, with size, maybe, and offset as well as brand so i can do some better research, also if you want to throw in the most important detail, $$$$$ lol, anyway sorry if this post is redundant, lol

Thanks very much

ross

lol that is the most important detail lol, but if i want something i will get it no matter the price, just means i have to wait longer lol, also if i find something of similar quality or better for cheaper. or any combination of anything that's where the money thing comes in, i don't just throw it away lol, i do my research, well at least i try to lol,

CCW/ Iforged / Fikse = At a very min 2600 just for wheels only

Ruff Racing / HP Racing = the poor mans choice lol. under a grand for a set. But they still look good.
