[urq] Re: custom wheel builders?

[Brandon Rogers]

Hi Jeff and all-
Yes I did notice that particular wheel in a magazine recently-it even has 16
spokes, but alas it is missing the most important (IMO) feature as found on
the 15x8 R8 - the nice rim lip.  Gotta have the lip....

I also noticed HRE has a 16 spoke wheel, with a lip, but it is a modular
wheel (I don't care for all the bolts showing) and look sto be polished or
chrome (?) only.  Not my style. Ideally I'd like a nice titanium colored
finish.

thanks-

Brandon
