Default rims: lip or no lip??

I'm looking at these B7 RS4 replica rims, and saw they also carry them with a polished lip. I was wondering what you guys think: straight flush, or lip?? I heard lips make the wheel look smaller.

they would look more OEM, i agree on that - but I prefer the deep dish look out of those two!

I think those rims are just way to over done now.

I think it depends. How wide are they? If they're wide enough to have stretched tires, I'd say go with the lip but if not I think no lip would look better.

If the lipped RS4's are the VMR 713's then they don't make staggered set-ups AFAIK

EDIT: Why did you have to make up a whole new thread??? You could've just updated your old one about RS4 reps. It's not like this forum is in need of more of these threads
