If you compare those to regular 17in BBS lips, you can see the slanted area is much bigger which is how you can pick an upsized set. 17in-18in upsized lips and barrels x4 will set you back about $1500-$1800 pretty easily. Plus finding the centres alone or having to buy a full set, you're up for decent dollars to build them.

If you are left with a remainder, subtract it from omgmoarlow. Profit.

Thats how I feel from time to time. some wheels/cars seem to pull it off better then others thoughSarcasm is easily calculated on vortex dude. Take 4 parts GLI lip and divide by BBS RS. If you are left with a remainder, subtract it from omgmoarlow. Profit.

Agreed, it really comes down to the wheel design and the car. Larger cars with them don't really work I don't feel, especially when they use a centre that looks really small(like from a 16in wheel). It just exaggerates that the lips are a bit awkwardly big and the centre wasn't supposed to be in a wheel that size. Colour choice plays a big part too.

ah yeah, that makes sense. Dont know how i missed that now haha. I'll keep an eye out for upsized barrels and lips.
To save mass $$$ and time, i should probably go for basic set of 18's.
If anyones selling anything around the 9" and 10" marks with a 20 offset, id love to keep them in mind for near future references.
