Well the design of the wheel has alot to do with it..  As you can see from the center it bows out then back in.  This give the brake caliper clearance and also the look of a fat lip.  the face sticks out more but then goes back in to seem flat.

nice wheels !!!!! man...I have no idea how that is done either, nice lip size!!!

the spokes got mad curve-age

damn gato always find good sheet .. 

Love the second shot that full face !

whoa!those are pretty nice.i really like the 5 spoke ones with the painted inners.i think i may have found my future wheels.thanks Gato!

Reverse-in spokes..like Freddie stated.  That's what allows it..that's what made my 18x9 -3 VSKF's clear my 6 piston AP's on my Z.  The spoke design plays that role...

i seen these before..i always thought these cars were so dope.

Its called false lip, the spokes curve inwards to give brake clearance and the look of more lip.  If you were to make the spokes flush with the disk size, like other rims are you would easily loose another couple inches of lip.

cheater lip designs. i think its what its called. and camber.
but still looks awesome ntl.

i dont care what its called or how it happens... wheel on the right is [I]so[/I] nasty!

That's why I love my wheels. 3" of lip up front and clears BBK (by a hair).

Yah, who cares..haha.  If it looks good it doesn't matter.

Those wheels will probably take out the curb before they even get bent.

schmidt wheels are nuts, cant fuck those wheels up

I don't think that's called "cheater lip"

To me those look like the faces are in "supe low disk" style, close to the correct offsets then they used Spacers to get clearance for the wheel/caliper. 

My cousin did this on his BMW M3 with 20" collectizone DD4R several years ago.

That does look great though!

yeah man
MB AMG brakes STILL use the super low disk on Leon Hardiritts

just liek this subaru man, the caliper is liek BEHIND the hub mounting surface

its crazy how they design it

its called a "concave spoke design " . or thats how its referred to at Wheelshops like discount tire and big O... but really any of the above seem to work.

by the way,  my opinion , stepped lip = Failtown. flat lip all day is how i roll . still nice rims Nevertheless

I believe those rivets are called "wheel hardware"
