Default Wheels with a polished lip

I know flatblack or gunmetal lightweight wheels are the "in" thing but is anyone still riding on wheels with a polished lip? I don't know but I've always loved wheels with a fat "bling, bling" lip. These in particular sparked my interest:



Examples

I have always loved rims w/ big fat polished lips. Unfortunately, it seems like all the rims w/ the true fat lips are the wrong offset for civics.
They look great on RWDs though.

My younger brother has an '85 corolla. That bastard has like 15 different sets of old school Toyota and Nissan rims that he picks up from salvage yards, all with nice fat lips(some polished, some not).
If only those would fit my civic

Yeah I used to have an 85 Corolla SR5 and two 89 Corolla GTS. I always wanted these certain toyota wheels that came all polished and looked phat but I could never find them. We always called them clovers. lol your brother probably has a set!

Damn those Adlers are old skool! I remember seeing those in the old Sport Compact Car mags like 4 or 5 years ago lol. They look alot like the ssr shumachers or the tenzo shus.

I'm rockin SSR schumachers with polished lip . I have had them for a while now and am thinking about trying something different. (I think schumachers look better on colored cars than on black cars)
