Black Rims?

[RedCavalierRacer]

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?

[Classicrocjunkie]

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.

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]

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.

Yep, i got them too. I think i got them when i was slammed with my old springs on my car though. Currently i am sitting a little higher.
