You can't tell with the crappy cell phone pics that the lips are carbon fiber..the centers are tinted clearcoat and barrels are gloss black.

I hope I can come out with good results from using the L5 fenders..I think they are the only ones who.do custom sizes for front and rear..

You're having them make you custom sized fenders?

What did you ask for?

I have had a dilemma with standard L5's I ordered (and now their splash guards, in case you missed my thread), be careful in dealing with them.

My issues have not yet been fully resolved and they have gone silent on me.

I have seen these wheels in person and they are awesome! Beautiful wheels! Pics don't do them justice. The carbon fiber lips are stunning!

I read your post motojb and I hope you get it resolved..I hope I get lucky with them and get a good product. .I think they are my only option to make these wheels work..time will tell...yes you can order front up to 2 inches in 1/4 increments and rears up to 4 inches in 1/4 increments. .now I haven't contacted them personally but tbrent has 3 1/4 inch rears and that's where I received the info..I'm off work and will get pics wed of the carbon lips..
