3" lip ====> 4" lip
I ordered my wheels last year and they showed up with a 3" lip, this winter I sent them back to swap out the 3" for a 4" lip... I'll post the new pictures when they show up. I also have a carbon fiber body kit being made for the car!!!

Seriously, I totally think there's a limit to this 'more is better' theory of wheel fitments.

It's only a matter of time before someone shows up here with his new 26" 'rims' with a 10" lip. They'll probably be from Houston.

As long as you are happy that's what matters. I think it's really fugly... but that's why they make different parts to allow people to do different things! Whatever floats your boat

I think it looks great but how practical is it. 20" wheels with a 40mm+ drop? Next, I want to see you driving down the street with that! Great to see someone doing what turns their crank!

the car was spun all the way down in this photo, but i drive day to day only 1/2" higher in the front...

Can't wait to destroy my new carbon fiber kit on the pavement!!!

End of the day it's just a car and i'm going to do whatever i want with it. Even if it means making it "fugly" or impractical...

yeah car this slammed would last 1-2 meters on the streets of Boston

BTW, if anyones sees anyone put 24s on Cayman, they should have permission to hit them in the cohones, so they don't have as stupid of the kids as they are.
