wow, sometimes i wonder with a lip that big, how strong is the rim, does it weaken with a bigger lip? oh well guess it doesnt matter the chances of me getting a rim with that big of a lip is slim to none

I don't get it...big lips just look "hooptie" to me. They scream out "no taste" or "drug dealer"

I never understood the fascination.....anything past 3" is overkill IMO

Although I do prefer lips to none, this is way too big.

if you ask me, having lip is good, but having too much lip is stupid. imho on our GS for example, 4" is pretty much max i would go.

it's almost like going with bigger rims. going 19s, good. 20s, even better. 21s, stupid

I agree, there is the instance of "too much of a good thing" I am pretty much resigned to 4" max on 80% of cars, with a few exceptions (Porcshe's, BMW 745, SUV's, etc).
