Yeah, they don't look as big as a wheel that goes all the way to the edge, but I really like the look of a lip.......I have 18" RH C5's and they have a polished lip, and sometimes they don't look quite like 18's, but you can tell they aren't 17s.......it's weird

That's why I got spokes that go all the way to the lip, plus the hub area is small, too. It makes the spokes look real long, and they "look" like 19's.
If I were to have a RWD car, though, you better believe the rear wheels would have a 4 inch lip.

No lips looks much better. The only one's that has lips that looks good are the deep dish type rims, but they won't fit the TLs.

I like the polished look of the lip, don't care to have a "big tire" look....

Look here, 17" with lip, sweet
