I am looking to purchase a set of wheels in the next week or so for my 996tt..... I can't decide if I want to go with a regular deep dish (4.5 lip) or a stepped lip. Either way I am going with a mesh design in the centers. If I do a single dish im going with a Mesh 8. If I go with a stepped lip im going with a Mesh 10.

Opinions Please!

Thanks

 

my personal preference...the mesh looks best with stepped lips. old school does it best.

 

Links,

The reverse lip (single as you call it) is what I prefer for the turbo. I had a set of LM's 19" step lip with a relatively small rear lip and I wanted more (which is why I sold it). One thing to keep in mind is that if you get a step lip, the face of the wheel will be smaller, making the "look" a little more squished. For example

19" DPE S20 - Reverse lip




19" DPE S20 - step



Here is a shot of the LM's on my car

BBS LM is my all time favorite rim-it's on many of the P race cars

 

Thanks Edwin.... I think the stepped lip makes the car look tougher... How big was your lip on the LM's those things look awesome on your turbo.

 

I prefer the stepped lip.
