I'm not trying to discourage you from ordering what you like, I just wanted to give you a 'heads up' is all.

Yeah I understand, I wish I could get a lip like that, but that will be when I have money for a 7 series.

I think the Monarch is a 2" lip, and my guess the 5Zigen is more like a 1.5-1" lip..

Now going into Winter I'm trying to decide about just getting new rubber for my stock wheels. Either way I'm doing all season tires.

I'm leaning towards the 5Zigen because I know the name and they look nice, and will be less hassle(they will come mounted an balanced an ready for me to throw on)

jon, looking very sexy

At the moment I endedup just getting tires for my stock wheels. Just somthing about having no tread and sliding across 3 lanes, and then getting nails in the wheels the next day. I couldn't wait.. still deciding. I wish I thought about getting wheels before i needed them.

I'm aiming towards the sport engines
