Default Stepped Lips?

Anyone have a list of wheels that offer stepped lips? I'm having a hard time finding some decent wheel designs with stepped lips.

Iforged (don't know what designs are offered though)

Any others?

I've always loved those, are they still in production? I need to look those up, if they are available, to see what offsets are offered.

Yeah, they're still being produced. The main reason most people shy away from them, is their high price. In 19"s alone w/out tires, they'll set you back over 4K.

Here's a list of available fitments

To the best of my knowledge, VIP Modular wheels do not come in step-lip configurations.

Yeah, the Ordens are one of my faves!!

Here they are on a 2nd gen GS, with stepped lips. I think they're available in reverse lip as well.

The 540R line by HRE has reverse lips. It's the regular 540 line not denoted with the "R" at the end that has the stepped lips.

Some pics to illustrate

Seize: Thanks for teaching me something new today. I never knew what the R meant in the HRE wheel line.

Seize is da man!!!

I agree with him though, those step-lipped BBS LM's are super hot

I have the CCW Classics...and they have a "mild" step lipped...



I noticed that you have a set of CCW's on your Supra

The step lip is also known as the standard contour outer (lip) and the outers that everyone is used to seeing are known as the reverse contour outers. HRE wheels without the standard contour outers have the "R" after their name, which could relate to the reverse contour outer on the wheel.
