i have never heard of that brand before either. the tire rack has some nice selections with the polished lip. i just picked up some 18" 3 piece ssr with the polished lip and they look great.

sports max are very known. im suprised many of you have not heard of them. there very good rims for the price and pretty nice styling if you ask me. those rims would look awesome on the 8

WHAT? I dont understand the point of this question...
Almost every wheel manufacturer now has rims with a big *** polished lip. It shouldnt take you but 5 seconds to find 20 different ones to choose from.

It might be a little tough to see in this pic,

But my AME circlar RS 18x10 have a 4" lip in the rear.

I think they look sweet

Bindon,

Your fit is perfect. What wheel & tire sizes & offset are you running? I am considering trading my 18x8 Gram Lights for something staggered.

Thanks

man... thats a nice setup for a rx8. love the lips and overall stance.

I have 19" Axis Hiros on my 8 (with 275/30s). There's plenty of lip on these...

you should check the "pictures of aftermarkets wheels" thread there are a lot of pictures of wheels with fat lips.

A good one that comes to mind while being inexpensive is ADR m-sport and TSW thurxtons.
