i love the way the rims fit, and the gold (or whatever color u call it) is a nice contrast, but i'm not sure how i feel about the silver lip? i think the third color thrown in the mix is too much contrast, and while of course the gold or silver individually look great, i'm not sure how i feel about all 3 in a close area.
i think those rims would look better on my liquit plat. i'll do you a favor.. just take those off and send em to me, i'll even pay for shipping.

plan on correcting the camber?



and any pictures of where you trimmed it?

if I have problems when I lower mine I'm thinking of trimming that whole beveled edge off of the liner and using a good double sided tape or something under the liner to hold it to the fender
