so basically it's the wheel's dish/lip depth? like the one guy with the $100 bill in his wheel's lip in his display picture, he has a huge positive offset, right? i can't believe i study mkiii's for like 4 hours a day and still don't know anything about wheels at all.

The lower the offset the more lip you can have. But lip isn't just based onoff set though. In general though.. with rims with lip.. more offset = less lip and less offset = more lip. But it also has to do with other factors like the width as well.

I have always wonder what would these look like on a supra. Do you have any pictures of the whole car? These are fairly cheap but pretty nice.
