Pic request: I am trying to see how much lip does the 17x9+35s have? Does someone has a good picture?

Yeah i did the wait as well when I had my 17x9 +22 TE37's.

As far as the lip...i talked to my buddy that's a volk retailer and he said they only come in machined lips. In all the pictures I see here, you can almost see a mirror reflection of the spokes in the lip...that's pretty shiny.

Biggest reason I stayed away from TE-37's this time around was because all the SL finishes have machined lips...and I'm just not a fan of that...I feel like they make the rim look smaller when the finish isn't uniform with the spokes.

The RT's have a much smaller machined surface, however they're red

I believe 17x9 +35 Have the same lip as my 17x9.5 +28. (Red Wheels)

CE's have 3 face/ lip configurations.

The Convex setup you see on OEM Spec wheels. (17x8)(convex spokes, small lip)

Then face 2, like mine 17x9.5 +28 (flat face, medium lip)

then face 3 like the 17x10 +45, 17x9.5 +35, 17x9 +22 (Concave spokes, deep lip)


Face 1

17x9 +35 ce28 is face one.
17x10 +50 is face 2

And the rest seem correct.
17x9 +22 is concave but doesn't have as much lip as
9.5 +35 or 10 +45

Color is hyper blue and yes, they are that size with 255s. The color changes with different lighting.
