deepest lip wheels 4 mcs's

Hello Everyone,

I have been looking for wheels with a nice deep lip. After research I realized that mini's (FWD's) cant have deep lip wheels. But whats killing me is the pictures i keep seeing of mini's with deep lips. As far as i know hamann and breyton have the deepest so far, with no rubbing or any other problems, as they were made perfectly for the mini.

So i'm sure there is at least one company that could offer a deep lip wheel. I went into every picture in this forum, but couldnt find a clear picture of a deep lip wheel.

Anyone out here could post pictures ?? or could direct me at least.

Thanks

My Hammans are great but they do rub if you lower the car much or if your girlfriend is over 9 stone.

Thank you guys for the comments, but I already have a set of hamann 18x8.

Is there any other wheels you have in mind ?

brocks are pretty nice if you want the deep lip look. The spokes dive into the wheel which makes the lip appear to be much deeper than it actually is

Before I installed my current JCW rims, I had a set of Antera 309s. I do not remember offset but minimal rubbing with std s+ suspension.
