How thick are the lips on the RA's? how much would it cost to polish them?

Thick? What as in how wide is the whole wheel?

To get a set refurbed to like new and the lip polished like http://www.golfgti.co.uk/pageimages/e3805/39.jpg you are probably looking at 150 - 200 ish

loads of people run rm's, they are the two piece versions, i've got some 3 piece rs 047's which are just about to undergo a second refurb..... :drool:

pretty much all bbs rock, LM's and CH's are amazing on modern cars..
