Concave vs. Lip What do you prefer and why?

To start a friendly conversation, do you like wheels with a concave face, or rather a face+lip, or both? Why?

If anyone knows how to add a poll please do.

Both if done correctly are sex.

At the same time both can look like boo boo.

face+lip is what I have currently.

Step-lip for me too. I haven't seen too many concave wheels that were deep enough to really the earn the moniker 'concave' ... I want a concave deep enough to get lost in, like a rolling M.C. Escher painting but the offsets and widths that would require aren't doable for most, even if you could find the right manufacturer to make them.

i always liked a wheel with a lip in a larger diameter wheel.. on the smaller stuff i like concave.. wheels with lips always seem to look smaller then the actual size.. vs a wheel with no lip.. so with me it depends on style and size.

On the G, I prefer lips/step-lips. I actually don't like the Concave on any G I've seen it on. Well, I'll say it's not something I would do. But I have seen it look nice. I just don't like them. However, on my 300C, I did concave and LOVED it. Plus, nobody was doing concave on those cars so that made me like it more.

Guess it just depends on the car.
