Re: RR's 3.2L '99 EX-L Coupe 6MT

WheelFlip does great work, very happy with the lips…they are like mirrors! I put a rear and a front wheel together last night, I am pleasantly surprised with the depth of a 2.5” lip. Given that the VS A-disk is bow-faced, the depth is a lot more than I thought it would be. It’s exactly what I wanted. :naughtyrun:

Specs:
F 18 x 8 +38 (2” lip)
R: 18 x 8.5 +31 (2.5” lip)
Tires will be 225/40 F & R.

Speaking of tires, found a set of Bridgestone RE760’s for $150/pc, so going to go with those.

I'm liking how well those are going to go with the car, overall, C-Banger.

Disks are the various shapes of the spokes for certain wheels that actually offer more than one disk type for a particular model of wheel. Some disks aim for maximum lip & minimum brake clearance, some are the opposite, and some are a compromise of the two.
