Wheel with biggest lip

I was wondering if anyone knows any wheels that have large lips. I love the look of a diamond or chrome lip. A vendor was selling Works VS-TX wheels that were discontinued. That had a 35mm & 55mm rear lip which looked awesome. Guys, give some ideas, I want to upgrade from rotas for the spring/summer.

I am wondering if anyone has pics of a real staggered setup. Most staggered set ups i have searched up on the forum are all flush face .

If no one has any pics as soon as I get me my EVO I will slap on my work equips on it to see if it would even look right. I have a feeling it will look a little weird.

Heres a pic of my wheels 17x8 17x9

Nobody runs real staggered due to the transfer case. Here is the "big lipped" wheels that i was able to find. Not my car and dont have the specs.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

I had a very nice write up with a new wheel from Axis. I had all the sizes,offsets and lip size. Had a couple nice pics for you too. BUT when I went to post it I got a "database error" so im not going to do it again.. sorry

I will tell you if the "lip look" is what you are after check out Axis Widetrack
Here is an STI with the 90mm lips (they come in 60mm 90mm and 120mm)

That evo up there doesnt look bad at all. I am gonna try to see how it will look since the offsets on my wheels are pretty close to Evo offsets.It will probably sneek just a bit up front but we will see.
