Wheels with polished rims suggestions.
 
Hey all, I'm looking for 17" wheels with a polished lip, something like Rota Grid 2Rs, but they only come in 19".

Any suggestions?

I'm not sure how many wheels come with a polished lip unless they're 2 or 3 piece. You might need to be looking there.

Probably not much help, sorry.

Thanks mate.
Wheels are a weird thing to try and research because you don't know what to search for unless you know what you're searching for [emoji848]

But I've just discovered work meisters. I'm obsessed. My god these are sexy wheels.

Those are really nice!

I happened to get my hands on a set of these in 17x8 myself. Super old wheel makes them hard to find which is part of why I didn't suggest them. (they just happened to pop up on kijiji shortly after I got my car, only timeI've ever seen them in person)

I've made a few changes since these pics were taken, including properly sized tires (these were smaller than OE diameter which make the wheel gaps even worse).

I can understand that but at the same time my mentality is that everything is meant to be used. Every bottle in my whisky 'collection' is open.

Rowan Atkinson put 40,000 miles on his Mclaren F1 (and crashed it twice). :burnrubber:

Beautiful. I love gold or bronze centres with polished lips. I agree with the 'use it as it was intended' sentiment. I was a gardener for a guy who owned a Lister Jag racecar. Very rare, irreplaceable. Raced it in historics and raced it hard!

BTW I settled on a copy of a work meister s1 3p, matte bronze centre, polished lip and offset machined to my exact specs, which, for the price point, I felt was unbeatable.

(18x8.5 +38) with 225s all round.

There are decent S1 3p copies around? Source? I love that wheel but I cannot justify spending that lol.
