((Reverse lips vs. Step lips))

Which do you prefer: reverse, no lip or step lip setup?

and why???

Seen a couple of step lips that I have really liked, but then i've seen some that look awkward.

Please post pics as well


Thnks

step lip looks great on the right application and also saved a good amount of weight

My rims are step-lip but I dont like it coz it makes the rims looks smaller, I have a 19" but looks like 18" coz of the step-lip....this is just my opinion!

Step Lips Rule IMO.
Classic look. Refer to the best wheels ever designed (BBS LM).
Then again, I am bias.

I agree, I think step lips only look good on 20+inch wheels w/ a deep dish. I'm glad I went reverse lip on my wheels.

Step lips with just a slight stretch of the tire.

step lips, in my opinion, it depends on the style, not all reverse lip = good looking. some of the monoblocs look nice on a c63 in 19" too, like adv10.1, amg v...

step lip 20" looks the best, but you have to give up some handling advantages on the car.

handling and weight saving are more important in my issue, hre comp line weights lighter than a lot of rims out there, and that's what i would go for in 19".
