For wheels with shallow lips I think slant looks better, really small stepped lips look goofy.
Works the other way around as well, deep slant lips look goofy, but stepped ones do not.
This vote is pointless without knowing the details of the wheels you're building.Last edited by pandaboo911; 04-07-2017, 03:21 PM.

Agreed, I think that's what I was trying to say (but said poorly) haha. I think the current upsizing-stancebros making their RSs into 18" wheels and throwing them on their WRX sort of left a bad taste in my mouth.
That said, my set has a very narrow section of slant to it and it looks pretty okay. Sorry about the garbage photo.

Stepped lips are for racecars. Slant lips are for BMW 3.0 CSLs ONLY.-Erik
