I can get A LOT of money for them and I have a few hookups now where I can get Weds or Rotiform in any size for under 3k. I actually dont really want to sell the works, but if I can for the right price I'm going to use the money for my custom air setup and a new set of wheels to change the style when I wrap the car in a new color.

i believe they are:
19x10.5 +27 rear - 4" lip
19x10.5 +12 front 4" lip
if im not mistaken. Im excited to see what they look like. Im debating on waiting till next season to mount them or, just throw them on for whats left of this year.
Curious what are everyones thoughts on Step lip vs. reverse Lip?

IIRC it was Tiltmode has had these wheels on his old rx8. If you do a wee search you'll find a photo. He has a thread dedicated to all his set ups. Id find it for you but im in my phone. It looked sexual

all 4 are the same width.. from what i was told in order to get 4 in lip all the way around they had to shave the back pad in the front. otherwise they would have been 3.5 in lip in the front. here is what the guy @ wheelflip told me.
"Typically it looks best when an RX8 has matching lip sizes front and rear, however due to the BBK face up front, this makes the offset quite low. One alternative is that we can shave the backpad about ~4mm which brings the offset up to +16. Let me know if you want to do that. Extra lip is always nice
We did this on a pair of Tiltmode's bazreias as well to maximize lip."
i wasnt able to get the deep, nasty lips that you and danny have so i had to do what i could lol.... I'm sad to hear danny selling his wheels =( cant wait to see whats next..

oh i'm just saying that it's going to be interesting to see the +12 up front and the +27 in the rear. but the front does have quite a bit more space than the rears hahah. can't wait to see them

I just got a chance to look at all 4 and now I understand what is going on.. The Back pad on 2 of the wheels is really thick compared to the other 2. On 2 of the wheels there isnt really a Back pad at all, pretty much flush with the wheel face.. The larger backpads are about a half inch thicker..
