Lip or No Lip??
Just wanted some honest opinions from my Lexus Family.....if you were to get some new wheels or in the mood to replace a set....would you stick with wheels with a "Lip" or go "No-Lip??" Or better yet, go concave?? What new look will 2011 bring us??
Happy New Year to all My Lexus Diehards!!!!!!!!!!

I like staggered lip wheels personally but honestly wheels opinions shouldn't really be asked unless it's a fitment question as its really a matter of personal tastes. Who cares if 95% of people like them if you don't like em.

Lippage all the way. Not even a thought.
Why?
Because lipped wheels look aftermaket or custom. Straight-faced or no lip looks stock. No way I'd spend big bucks on wheels that look like stock.
Concaves are nice but it's a fad. I don't like to floow fads. Next 6 months they might be out of style. Never liked following the crowd. Nice lips change the character of the car.
It's not even close.....imo of course. But it makes a lot of sense!

In my opinion wheels with lips look cheap as if they were put together by a guy with 1970s machining equipment and engineering.
OEMs have moved to lipless, concave designs because they look better. Aftermarket hasn't kept up because most don't have the tools to make a quality forged lipless wheel.
Vossen's concave designs are the the best third-party wheels - Vossen clearly has the scale and tooling to make a bang up to date design.
That's what I think. But I'm not American, and we know American's have a love for wheels that look like they didn't come from the designer as the car.
