Default Question for Jim

I am about a click away from ordering Kazera kz-k wheels for my s. I just have one question, will the 18x7.5 +50 wheels have a face like the following picture:



What I am asking is if the face of the wheel will stick out like that?

I googled but was unsuccessful in finding any results. I found some of Kazera's high offsets don't stick out like that, but some do.

Those aren't the rims I want. These are:


Some think the style is played out, but I like the spoke design and the other two options they have are the "time attack" look and the faux carbon fiber. Neither appeal to me.

The KZ-K has a little over 1" lip on the front and rear. They are going to be very similar to the picture you posted.
If I can help let me know.

Decided on the KZ-J's. (pictured below)



Wrapped them in the sticky Dunlop Star Specs. Jim was awesome with his service. They are 23.8 and 24 lbs front and rear, respectively. Not too bad for "non-name brand" wheels. (ie BBS, Volk, etc). I'll post some pics when I get them put on.

They're heavier than stock AP2 wheels

I like how they look though, they aren't bad for an inexpensive wheel at all. Star Specs FTW I just mounted a set and I absolutely love them. They're the best street tire I've ever driven on (and I've driven cars with all the competing tires).

Ah, but these are 18s.

I keep hearing that about the Star Specs and right now the weather is warming up here in FL so since I was getting new rims, I said "why not try them out?"
