        Wow, see your slant doesnt look as pronounced for some reason, I like that.

          Looks like the Slant is taking over the poll. Will be making my decision this week.

            I agree with you on this one, those look great. I think on larger wheels they can make the centers look small. I like slant lips, but I think might be they to flashy for me. I kinda feel the same way about polished lips.

            I like my step lips, but I didn't change out the lips on my RS003s. They were in too good of shape to waste money on an extra .5-1in. Not sure what I would have done if I bought new ones.

            I also has them brushed and clear powder coated instead of polished. Nogaro Silver Euro Weaves inspired my design, and the bushed step lips fall into that machined OEM+ look well.

              Love to see more pics of yours, I am on the fence about should I polish or brush. The wheels I had made for my E93 are brushed and I loved them. Also not sure how hard polished is to maintain. Brushed are pretty easy. I am actually making my centers Nogaro as well.

                Have some on my home computer. I will post them tonight. I loved how they came out and am glad I had them brushed.

                Maintenance was another reason I went with brushed. If I would have gone polished I would have still done a coat of clear powder, but some people don't like to do that cause it knocks the shine down. I just wouldn't want to deal with keeping the polish look up.

                I also ceramic coated mine to further minimize keeping them clean.

                  I personally like slant lips, but if you are leaning towards step lips do you think R3V is really going to change your mind?

                    My problem with the slant is that when I've seen them it makes the center look smaller, which looks odd. Also not a fan of the mirror shine that is so popular with the stretched tires and scraping oil pan crowd, but I can see why the slanted rim is popular with them, because it shows off the shine.

                      Polished slant lips = stance nation douche

                      Machined stepped lips = gentleman with taste

                      That's just science

                        I had Dave at Rewnewed Finishes redo the wheels and he did an awesome job.

                          That's just taste.

                          Furthermore, taste of one who rocks bright orange wheels in his profile shot.

                              Lol that's true.

                              In my defense, it's a racecar. And a racecar needs to stand out in a pack. Without the graphics, the 190E just looks like a black blob.

                                Go stepped lip for an old school look! I like slant lips for newer model cars or up-size builds.

                                Went with stepped lips on my Mk1 :)
