I like the Lsportline/MMR's; but the SSR's monoblock deep lip 5 spokes are very beautiful on the GS's......(on the z) in the background..

number 1's style is the best in my opinion for a vip style 2nd gen gs but i have seen much nicer ones than these in the same style... i think lowenhart made or makes a set that look very similar but much more vip...

Also, a couple newbie questions. When people say staggered do they just mean different sizes in the front vs rear? What about when they are 3 piece, what are the pros/cons here? Also, the lip - whats the big deal with lips - why people excited about them? I think the sportlines (pic 4) they have a big lip on the rear, but none on the front - whats the purpose/point of that? Im not sure on the look of different looking rims on the front vs back?

staggered in the sense of a different width of rim or tire i guess from front to back and maybe even the deep dish offset effect could also make it be considered staggered... you should check out my rims from the link in my sig block cuz they are lowenhart 3 piece chrome and for sale!!!

L-Sportline. It's a true classic that has a clean design.
