Default Step or reverse lip?

I can t make my mind up partof me wants to try something different and roll with the step lip, however the full reverse lip has a larger face and makes the wheel look deeper in my opinion. Im trying to go with a more VIP styled look

depends on offset to me. if you are going aggressive to very aggressive, i like step lip. if not, reverse all the way. are you trying to do fender work now? you just got those wheels. lol.

Step lip for me as well. If you want it to look more aggressive go with a step lip in the front and reverse lip in the rear. Its only been done a handful of times but looks good every time I've seen it.

Ive always been a fan of step lip...but if everyone goes step, I'll have to jump to no lip full face.
