Default Lip or no lip on rims.

I personally don`t like rims without the lip on them. I have the black motorsports with the revets and polished lip. I wish the lip was a little deeper. So, what do you guys like , lip or no lip on rims?

I love the lip! Oh the rims, I think it all depends on the style, I really like my motorsports but i love the deeper lip on some of the other aftermarket rims.

Lips!!! We love lips! Cheeks are good too. But all kidding aside lips are good. On wheels too!

Lips, the deeper the better. I never cared for any of the stock wheels for this reason alone.

On some wheels, the large lip is very nice (look at the CCW's).

Mine have the stock size lip on them.

I wish I could find a deep lip (as deep as practical on a C5) and NO rivets.

Like these I had in England...


So to answer your question - Lips!!!

Evil Twin,
Those are nice lips! Do they have the runflat option on them. I bet you they hug the corners real good.
