Not mine, but I spotted an advert for these new Mickey Thompsons and just did a bit of Googling for some pics

If you have the means and want to maximize lip, speak to HRE or Forgeline and have them build you the wheel you want. Custom offsets and the manufacturer may be willing to mill the spokes to clear calipers.

Right. Hence "some". Caliper clearance is still an issue for running Boss 338s, which is a shame for me because I like those for street wheels.

I really don't understand why you feel the need to continue to correct things that aren't inaccurate. All I said was selection is more limited with a car with Brembos. I never said those wheels don't exist. Thicker calipers mean you need less offset, which usually equates to less lip unless you get a convex spoke (TSW Thruxton or Godspeed knockoffs). There will be some wheels with a lip that will still fit the front. Such is the nature of off-the-shelf wheels. Obviously any wheel that fits a Brembo car will fit a non-Brembo car. The opposite is not true. It's no secret that your wheel selection is more limited with bigger brakes.
Posting this car, albeit quite nice and precisely what he asked for, would be of little use if the OP is shopping for wheels for his car.

If we're going to get technical, the Boss 338 is a combination of the Torq Thrust II and the Torq Thrust M. The TTII spokes are more uniform from the hub to the rim. The TTMs are start narrow at the hub and taper out towards the rim. The TTM spokes are also much flatter than the IIs. The Boss 338 combines the TTII spokes, which I prefer, with the TTMs flat lip. The TTII has a stepped lip.
