			You probably should go with something deep dish.  the black bulging pattern sticking over the small dish doesn't look good.  I see alot of hondas and acuras with this style.  Nothing wrong with honda or acura but the rim looks like it belongs on a japanese car.  But if you like that's what matters.

Many board  member have used Wheel Dynamics and none of us have had anything to complain about.  
 
Gerry how are you wheels holding up with all the auto-x events?

Thanks, Robert!
 
Dude the wheels are doing pretty good after 4 AX with it and so easy to clean, I LOVE IT...but the Hankook tires that goes with it....blah...too loud in the freeway but sticky enough at AX....I can't wait to get a new set of tires and if I do, I'm going back to Kumho's     |

These caught my attention as well due to their final selling price.  I checked out the seller's feedback and one guy who bought them for his Porsche said that they were not deep dish at all, not giving you a staggered look.  They are not actual BSAs, the offsets are incorrect.  A couple weeks back another eBay seller (porsche_panorama, or something like that) was selling a similar set of wheels but were actual deep dish.  They looked alot better and had different offsets than these (48/40), spacers would not be required.  He sells them for $795.  Same size 18x8 & 18x10 and weigh 22/26lbs.  I can dig up his email if you'd like.

I've seen these on a Yellow boxster from a guy in LA. 
  
They look good. I have the LeMans black ones someone showed earlier. They are hub-centric, they look good, but all of those spokes are hard to keep clean.

				Looking for somethng new and different?
			 
 
			I'm looking at getting these 5 star rims next. No one has these on our forum...yet. They are made by MODA. I like the way they look in black, but I'm not crazy about the logo being stamped on one of the spokes, but I think I could live with it. Here they are in black on my car. Found them at Tirerack.   |

I looked into those prior to buying my 19s.  I wasn't sure if a Porsche center cap could fit and ultimately wanted wheels with deep lips.  I love the red coloring on the calipers!    |

Those do have a deep lip. The rears are 18x10! or 19x10! You can't get any deeper than that. The lip is something like 3-4 inches. Same as Miros brand.

			BSA wheels, I looked into buying some off ebay a while back.  I couldn't find any dealer for them in the US except WheelMax which put me on hold for 20 minutes and I hung up.  No support as far as I'm concerned and when emailing the actual company, I got no response.  The only information I was ever able to get was off their website.  I decided against them based on if something were to happen to one rim, I'd have 3 good one's and no way to contact anyone about a replacement.
 Moda, those are the wheels I'm buying and having them painted flat black and leaving the lip polished.  Moda is made by BBS and those wheels are pretty inexpensive for a quality wheel.
