deep dish wheel

i'm looking for wheels with that deep dish look. i see pics of wheels like the gram lights 57 pro and ssr professor with that deep dish look and that's what i'm looking for. now i know the issue about the brake caliper clearance and wheel bearing issues or when going with bigger calipers like brembo and stuff but just wondering if it's possible. not looking for an extremely deep dish, just looking for enough of it. thanks for any help or info.

It's hard to find truly deep dish wheels for Imprezas due to our high offsets

sorry for the confusion. basically i'm asking if there are any deep dished wheels that will fit our rides.( or as i have learned from some car show guys today, wheels with a fat lip) because i was checking out the gram lights website and the pictures they show of the 57pro have that deep dish look, (the fat lip) but when i saw some pics of the wheel on a rex it didn't have the fat lip. i know offset is the reason, but being a new cat i wanted to ask you seasoned veterans if it was possible. but guess it's not going to happen. thanks all for your responses any other helpful comments would be appreciated.

You may want to look into Axis rims, such as the NEO or Se7en Mod, these rims are very heavy, but they may have the lip you want.

you should try looking at Volk LE-37 on 17x8.5 or 17x9...
I guess if you look into anything around these widths will be pretty deep already

If you want a fat lip and you don't mind running 19's, I can get you a set of REAL superb JDM wheel that will have the biggest lip you can ever fit onto a WRX and with a +50 offset.

It will be a one time promotional deal and you will have to go to a few shows for me.

PM me if interested.
