Paul, I've had PS2s and Toyo R1R on my former ROH wheels, have Dunlop Z1s on my current SSRs and PS2s on Sport Classic 2s. Part of it, yes, is that tire curb feeler But ROH, for example, had the lip stick out even way past that and so does SSR.
On ROH and SSR's do the spokes extend over the rim, and that is an issue, or is it the design of the rim itself? I'm not familiar with either rim.
Love it, really transformative. The car looks even more refined and polished. Nice!
You see that too huh? ;-)
I think it's a better balance for the original aero kit II, the rear of the car doesn't look so heavy, it just seems............ Right !

Paul, both are 3-piece rims and spokes are well internalized as they are part of the center piece only. It's just a rim design. I believe that 3.6 Speedlines are the same way.
I don't understand the idea of protecting the tire with the rim, not at all.
The last pic is nice! The wheels balance out the rear weight with wing and make the car seem lighter. Looks like I'm going to paint the spokes of one my 18" RH wheels black now, haha, thanks a lot ish.
Sizes, offsets, pertinent info ($$), please? Are lips polished or painted? I happen to really like these. What i really like is that the rim edges don't really stick out past the tire. Kinda important for a city car.
Sun Coast appears to have these wheels for sale (probably for far more than anyone here would want to spend) at $5,595 per set. See Here.
They also provide more detail on the possible specs of these wheels. Apparently they come in too possible offset options (or Sun Coast is recommending use of spacers in a not-very-clear-way). Even with the et67 rear wheel option 11.5" would be a lot of wheel width to fit on the rear of a NB 993. I'll leave it to others to make the final "Possible" or "Impossible" determination.
