It's all just a matter of opinion. I like both, but I have a fat lip on my car, SSR SP1 Professors with a 4" lip 19" wheels. If I had a track set up, I'd want something with out a lip like a Volk TE-37 or something similar, maybe even a Work wheel. The lip is more bling bling though, gets more attention, people are always snappin' their necks tryin' to get a peek when I drive by.

Usually big lips are associated with more bling and therefore are heavier. Also they are usually polished and are made differently than say the Emotions I have now vs the Hiro's that I used to have. Feel free to prove me wrong. The Axis Reverbs are light, but I don't think they are as light as the Emotions. Perhaps the TE37's in 18's are about as light, but their lip really isnt that big.
Just because 2 wheels are the same overall size with the same amount of spokes doesn't mean they weight the same.
Plus for what I use my car for there's no reason to have a bigger wheel than 9.5". Any bigger and your losing performance, but props for show points on bigger wheels.

In regards to the original poster, to each his own. I like concavity myself, but sometimes a fat lip looks real good.

Who cares about what the thread title reads. I like the no lip and the big lip look and rock both. The lexus has the big lip and the nissan rocks the RE30s. There should be a thread that says Fck your weak offsets!

To each his own, I have had both kinds of wheels and I have found my Emotions with Kuhmo MX tires to preform way better than anything else I have had. I would never go back to 19's unless i was showing.
ON WITH THE PICS.....

Ohhh nice. The RE30's even have a lip, just not huge. What are the sizes and what are the weights? They are forged or cast or what?
I had an S14 with big plans, but sold it for way more than i paid for it, plus the Z takes the front seat when it comes to modding. I'll have a nice S14 some day, just not very needed right now for me at the moment.
Those HRE's on the Lex? Hotness.

How can having a lip be played out?
Some people rather have custom wheels that are MORE than one piece. This naturally leads to having a lip if you want your offsets to push your wheel to the fender.
Single piece, multi-piece lip or no lip, having a weak offset is THE sin.

^^^Poopy offsets FTL. I think the +22 on my Emotions are just about right. Perhaps a rolled fender with a +17 would be better, but for the wheels I got +22 is the best they make. Maybe I'll get ballsy and throw a 5mm on there and see how things go THINKING....
Yeah I would probably go with the 8.5 and 9.5 setup with a good size tire. I will have to look into it. May be my next purchase.

Its not about lip or no lip...
Its about construction, overall size and weight, durability....
There are real nice wheels on both sides and to each his own.
No reason for thread title that straight out bashes.
Nice wheels by the way.
