Default update on the rh ran/crossline

hmm, this is becoming more and more tempting: seems i can get the wheel with a stepped lip, and a staggered look (1.75" front step, 2.25" rear step) while preserving 19x8.5 all around.

here's a shot of the stepped-lip design:

Default I like them more than the CH's

Obviously the LM's are a step above which is why you are comparing them to the CH's. But I also like the RS4's you ran last year for winter and other than the lip I like the look of the RS4's over the RH's as well.

1st BBS LM
2nd Tie RH Ran or RS4
3rd BBS CH

Default they come with the wheel ...

19x8.5ET55 front w/ET30 adapter -&gt; 19x8.5ET25
19x8.5ET43 rear w/ET25 adapter -&gt; 19x8.5ET18

as you know, i'd prefer ET22/ET15 front/rear, but in the winter bringing the wheels in a few mm might not be a bad thing.

Default Not as much no.

They look better on a car. I guess my only complaint is that I somehow perceive the spokes to be longer and thinner and detract from the design somehow. When I look at an LM I see the individual spokes and the U shape created between them. But when I look at the RH's I see more of the Y shape of each split spoke instead of the pattern created between them.

But they do look better on the car with the lip and the whole look than the RS4's and deserve 2nd on my list by themselves.

Default BBS CH all the way.

The RH's look like wannabe Lm's.
