Thanks Ind,

That is my favorite looking rim so far.. But I've been know to ding a few..... In my youth...

I'm looking to go with 305's all around based on the pedders guys recommendation of a balanced setup.

Thanks for the heads up.

Of course I am partial to the CCW, since that is what I have on my car.
Need 2 inch or so lip is good for me.

Big lip in the rear and Small on the front, I would have voted but that option wasn't there.

Thanks! they get a lot of compliments! John is ahead of the curve with his wheels.....

I really like this set-up. How was it lowered, springs or coils?

hate to disappoint.....but it was lowered with photoshop......

Imho, I would try to pick a 2" to 2.5" lip front and a 4" lip rear but not get a mesh style wheel only a 5-spoke or split-5

Lip is better then no lip but convex is a NO NO, so played out!
Straight or concave with lip or no lip suits this machine best.

Kinda disappointing everybody is still so hot for 5-spoke and 5-split...
Although having seen 22" VENTI PLUS VP101 in real life at Houston coffee & cars this weekend, they looked great (not convex!).

Okay, I have had a lot of wheels and not sure what Convex is....

I was going to go concave because because of how it played out I will be going with split 5s and a nice lip. I like concave but do not like that there is no lip.

I think the smaller lip looks best on the camero's.

Convex means it curves outward. The small round mirrors you put on your side mirrors to get a larger field of view are convex mirrors.
