Thank you sir=)
What do you need a glovebox for?
What kind of gloves will you be carrying?
I actually might purchase a pair of driving glove for this sir. Keep that wood grain nice and polished.

That quote above is trippy. It says I replied to the quote at 9:22, but Brians post is said to have happened at 9:35...
problem?

Yes you can. Rotiform can custom make you lips for any wheel. idk.
I really hate slant lips, or the lips that'll take you from, example a 15" rim to a "16inch" rim by making the lips 1" or whatever amount taller.
But slant lips seriously look god awful in my opionion.

Rotiform makes shit product. If I wanted cracked lips I would have kept my old ones and ran them over a few times. Plus they charge way more than I paid. Each one of their lips costs at least twice as much as my lips.
Slant lips can look good on certain cars and face styles. I don't like huge slants, like the 16" to 18" ones for RS's, but a 1" slant can look classy. However, Mexican car was very sexy on his RS's (that's the e36 you posted). They didn't look lippy, but they complimented the car well.
I like stepped lips because they are more complicated than a blah flat lip. They add depth and I like how the light hits off of the stepped portion. It just makes the lip seem more aggressive.

I didn't post Mexican's E36, I posted Jaycee's WRX lol, unless you're talking about a further back post?
Ope sorry. I forgot Mexican had red bbs caps. I didn't look at the front bumper in the picture. I'm not a fan at all of how that WRX looks. It doesn't look feature worthy to me.
I did like Mexicans car still though=)

I agree with you on your reasons for likeing stepped lipes, and your clain that flat lips look blah and cheap. However I still choose flat lips as they make the wheel look bigger and deeper. Seems like you're just cheating the sidewall with stepped lips. I used to have real BBS LM's and the stepped lipe was the one thing I didn't like about them.

Meaning the stepped lip allows the same center that would have been used on an 18" rim with flat lip, to be used on a 19" rim with a stepped lip. Mostely semantics, I just like the largest lip and largest center I can get in my wheel size
Cool (to me):
Uncool:

I get what you're saying oe Robert. I agree up until a certain width lip. 1" to 2" stepped lips don't look at good as 1" to 2" stepped lips to me. 2.5" stepped lips on up look good to me because they have depth, and it evens out the amount of lip to face size. With my 3.5" lips, there is at least 2" of flat lip before the step. They then have a 1" step to another 1" flat:) To me that looks better than 4" of flat lip.
