Lip...or no lip...

1er junkie · 06-20-2008, 01:29 PM

Wondering what everyone thought about having a lip and not having a lip on the 1. I am deciding between a setup with a lip or m6 reps. Let me know what you guys think...

splitters

1er junkie · 06-20-2008, 01:47 PM

.....Dont know what that is, so please enlighten me

1er junkie · 06-20-2008, 01:48 PM

Nm, m6 reps are what you are saying. Thats right, I googled that shit.

RobLS · 06-20-2008, 01:52 PM

The splitters from the performance catalogue. Its like a lip but in two pieces.

1er junkie · 06-20-2008, 01:58 PM

thats kind of what I wasnt saying........lol.

1er junkie · 06-20-2008, 02:00 PM

1er junkie · 06-20-2008, 02:01 PM

That is what I meant. Similar to these styles or m6 reps. Either set will be a staggered set up. Opinions? No "you should get these" either lol. I have searched this whole wheel and tire forum and seen many of the styles. I just want some advice between these 2 styles

RobLS · 06-20-2008, 02:01 PM

Oops, I didn't see the seciton you were in. I take back what I said hehe.

1er junkie · 06-20-2008, 02:26 PM

lol

Gonna vote for lip. I've always wanted a BMW coupe with a nice set of rims with a lip. However, I will agree with some that the one seems the least suited to it of all current BMWs.

1er junkie · 06-20-2008, 03:19 PM

That is what I am thinking.....

But that was my dream too, to have a BMW with a lip finally!

BMW Dreamer · 06-20-2008, 03:51 PM

A nice lip would be great. Staggered with 2" lips in front and 3" lips in the rear. Just remember that lips make the wheel look smaller. If you get wheels with lips, get 19" wheels.

1er junkie · 06-20-2008, 04:38 PM

lol, take advice from someone who has been banned

stefan · 06-20-2008, 05:10 PM

Should look good (lip)! 19"s though maybe.

1er junkie · 06-20-2008, 05:13 PM

Thats what I was thinking too!! It kills me, I dont want it to look stupid. I found a set with 38 offset, 8,0x18 for front and 9,0x18 for the rear.

1er junkie · 06-20-2008, 08:42 PM

Could someone photoshop a 135 or 128 with a set of wheels with a decent lip to them?

CAMike · 06-21-2008, 07:10 AM

I am pro lip...go with the lip!

emm3tt · 06-21-2008, 10:47 AM

Big lip is for an older style of car. The newer style cars look better with no lip but with a concave look.

1er junkie · 06-21-2008, 11:54 AM

I have decided to go with the m6 reps. They are a proven hottie.

ichiban · 06-21-2008, 12:53 PM

I'm gonna have a step lip on mine. I think it'll look fine. Just have a track set ready for fun days.

1ForAll · 06-24-2008, 06:57 PM
