Black Rims?

RedCavalierRacer · 04-19-2005, 09:15 PM

Hey, I'm looking at rims and I just seen a scion XA commercial and they had these cool rims.

They were black but they had a chome rim around the outside of the rim. It looks prety cool.

I was just wondering if anyone knew what the name of these rims were? Is there a certian name? Or is there a certian name for the chrome strip?

There are alot of black rims with a polished lip. My rims are BBS style with a 1 inch polished lip. But i am looking at some 19" ADR fuels in bronze.

is that what it is called? Polished lip?

Do you have a picture of your rims?

I have pics of them, but none that show the variance betweent the alloy powder coating and the machined lip.

But here is an example of a polished lip. Its a high sheem machine finish on the outter most part of the rim.

I think they would look good on any car.

RedCavalierRacer · 04-21-2005, 07:10 PM

The 2nd number in the rim size is the width right?

18x7.5

If so, what is the widest width you can go before rubbing?

jayson716 · 04-21-2005, 09:43 PM

18X7.5... i get a slight rub you dont hear it at all but when i have my wheel off you can see marks lol... but very little and only when u turn the wheel.
