Hey guys,

I'm new here and from the UK but I have been checking this thread for a long time now. Just about finished my car so I thought I'd stick mine up. It looks higher at the back than it actually is, it's just my angle and lens.. honest!

Wheels are Rota GTR 18x8.5 ET? and 18x9.5 ET?. Backs are concaved

Looks good Ross and Retro Boy G!

I think you should space out the fronts/go lower and you will be set

Houston shoot with our 8's sounds good.

It looks like a burnout lip.

Shineauto sells a legit replica:

http://www.shineautoproject.com/type2rx8.htm

Many members have this including Atilla and have nothing but good results with them.

I thought it was a burnout rep but if you look at the sides of the lip. Its a smoother rounder finish. Where as the burnout lip from the shineautoproject site its literally got edges.

I pm'd him but thanks guys.

i cannot really think of anyone who has gone for a ridiculously big reverse lip yet. sifu is probably the only one

if i ever have a few grand to spend on new wheels that is what i would get, just to be different from the aggressive "race wheels" look. I mean if you are going to go low and wide and basically undriveable why even put race wheels on lol not hatin' just my pov

Example besides sifu? I am trying to visualize what you mean. I like the Weds but there is not really a wheel that I have seen on a VR that I love. But i really would like these with the blue in red I think.

I am pretty sure someone has gone a big lip before. Maybe they just aren't posting any. Tilt has ran some aggressive sizing and those sizes would produce a good amount of lippage

I want some new wheels now...I got a friend who can get CCWs at a discounted price. Too bad I want to stay 19's and 17's for the track when I do go.

I like the Weds. Not too much into the second wheels at all. Get the wheels at 18x9 +20 offset if you can . When I had the 9 width the +20 offset looked awesome! But then again you could go wider.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the nice comments! The splitter is just some generic one I got on eBay USA for about $40. You actually can't get ANYTHING like it in Scotland so I had to import it so had to go cheap.. I wasn't aware there was any sort of genuine good front splitter like it as I did search.. I'm quite happy with it, it needs a bit more secured but it's ideal for scrapage as it's very soft and bendy and shouldn't crack..

I'm heading out tonight to get some better pictures, winter is starting to kick in over here though and it's very cold and wet outside so I'm not sure how the pictures will turn out. I'll make sure there is a nice side on one though with no fisheye!

I'll try get them up ASAP depending on how fast my friend can get them over to me after the shoot.
