LM is based on a racing wheel design, therefore the step lip. Yours which I presume are RS-GT are a deep dish design similar to a reverse drop lip but with a smaller step where the face is.

I would wager that the LM is stronger wheel. Form follows function.

Not trying to get into an argument, because I know you know your $hit, but, if memory serves me correctly, I could've sworn someone, perhaps Peter, said that the reverse lips are stronger. The stepped lips are lighter and, therein, lies the function (or form?).

Thoughts?
