I like those. But they look to much like the ones I currently have. Your tires still don't come out far enough to the edge of the lip. That bothers me too. I preffer these for my next set of rims.

I am trying to see if i can get the lip of the wheel to stick out 1/2" beyond the tire (Just kidding). Those look good, send pictures when they are on your car.

Because whe you say wheels it sounds like your could be talking about the tires also. Wheels as a "whole" entity could include the tires. That's why we say rims and tires instead of just wheels. Breaks it down somewhat.

I must be crazy but I always thought a wheel was a wheel and a tire was a tire.

Rim to Wheel

Times have changed. When I was a teenager in the 60s, the rim held the tire and the entire assembly bolted onto the wheel. That concept seems to have changed and I now hear both terms used interchangeably. But if that's the case, what do you call the round thing the wheel bolts onto?

It's alot like the what constitutes a motor and engine debate.
