LIP or NO LIP??
That is the question....
Rims with a machined lip or same color? Or no lip at all? I remember years ago, the big thing was deep dish rims... like 3" lip. Not sure how I feel about that anymore. |

I have had no lip (XXR 530) and lip (Rota DPT and Gram Light 57DR) but they were all one color. I'm planning on trying something different with a silver wheel and polished lip in the near future.
My advice is if sticking with a 17" wheel to stay away from a lip because it will look smaller, 18's and 19's can pull off the lip much better. |

Your rims do look small. But don't get me wrong, your car looks good. Hope you didn't take offense to my comment about snow tires. I wasn't trying to knock your set up or choice of wheel or tire size. I seen the pic of your car thinking it was the set up I wanted, then seen the size and got a little down cause it wasn't the same size I was trying to compare with. But I wasn't trying to knock ur car or anything. |

Its all good, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If there were a "perfect wheel", car, etc., there would not be any others on the road. Different people have different tastes.
