lip or no lip?
 

I really like the look of a rim with a lip, but not sure if i should get a rims with one.
Reasons....
1) Im going with 18" wheels and heard having a lip on a rim makes them look smaller
2) Im have a 323i sport and dont want to lower it anymore then it is and think a lip doesnt look right on a non slamed car.

What you guys think ??

1) I have yet to see a car with 18'' wheels with a lip.
2)No rim looks the best if the car is not dropped.
3)I would recommend that if you don't want an agressive drop, just go with H & R Sport srings.
Good Luck Bud. :thumbsup:

with lip!!!

Arn't my sport spring like the H & R Sport srings.?

no, the H&R are a lot lower

:hmm: **** i had a lowered car before and really did not want my bimmer to be lowered!!

I think 18" rims with 2 inches or more on lip will look smaller. Mine is 1 inch which look OK for me. I am still using stock sport supension. I can put 3 fingers between the front tire and fender. If you use Eibach pro kit spring, U can put 2 or 1.5 finger in. I think lower the car will make your wheels look bigger and improve handling. I will do it sooner or later.

Get Lip....
 

fronts are 18x8.5 (2" lip) on 235/40's and rears 18x9.5 (2 1/2" lip) on 255/35's, car is dropped on BavAuto Performance Springs w/Koni Yellows; no finger gap in front and half finger in the rear. :woot:

As for look, most non-fanatics often ask me if my wheels are 18 or 19's :)

fat lips!!!

fat lip-->looks much better man...

where can i get more info on suspension and hr springs?

big lips makes 18s look smaller than they really are. 19s is the way to go if you want huge lips. step lips look great on 18s
