Thoughts on these wheels

I was in the process of changing my current rims for these. Any thoughts on quality and looks?

I like rims with a lip, and will prob end up getting wheels with a lip now that I know I can't fit real M-style 220 wheels on my car, however I am not the biggest fan of the "double-lip" it almost makes the wheels appear to be even smaller.

A lot of people say an 18" wheel w/ lip looks like a 17" , 19" looks like an 18" etc etc.. the double lip makes these even more noticable.

Still, nice looking wheels.

You can never go wrong with an LM type wheel IMO.

I like the M6 rims. You can get OEM quality replicas on eBay for about $600 for a set of 4.

Polished gun metal 5 double spokes.

its called a "step lip"

and there a ton of LM reps out there from various brands. some do a better job of looking like the real LM and some are just a joke. quality-wise, most these LM reps are probably all the same shit... but i personally would rather buy from a company who took the time to at least clean up their photos and brand image, as opposed to ones like "A-spec" who colored in their center cap with MS Paint. lol
