depends for what car...i am assuming its for a lexus...in this case I like reverse lips...IMO its much classier...just my opinion...its all personal preference

if you want more sporty look...go with the stepped lip

It's personal preference, but I don't like the step look.

I like both looks, I like the step look on certain cars. I've seen in in person on a GS with BBSs and it was the ****.

Ive never head that expression, but i am SO using that from now on!

I like both, I suppose the step lip looks better if the lip is fat, like below.

Step lips look too busy for me. Plus, you get a smaller face.

Reversed for me.

Depends on what type of wheel and what type of car.

It just so happens that my two favorite wheels are examples of each style

BBS LM (step lip)



Auto Couture Magnafique (reverse lip)
