I know what you're saying Jeremy but the lip on these rears have a step in them for added strength on the track. Plus these look polished, not chrome and BBS is a reputable track wheel. I think Orion is referring to the chrome poser flat lips on the street.

Oh yeah, and negative camber to rival the Back to the Future DeLorean going into hover mode
. Function in car parts is where I see beauty; for instance, aerodynamics, parts put on race cars with actual purpose etc. without looking gaudy. Too much lip/dish looks dumb, whereas when its necessary for a really wide wheel, you can make it stylish and add dimension by making it with a concave design.Obviously I understand that this isnt always the best choice and some of the best racing wheels have big dumb lips too because they have to.
That being said, there were some BBS and Audi wheels that are ugly beyond excuses

theres nothing wrong with some dish, but those bbs's have more to them than just dish...alot of people only look at the dish in the rim to see if its cool or not.

By the way, I know someone selling a set of TE37's with concave spokes for about 1800 if anyone is interested. they are 18's and fit on a G/350Z nicely..

Well yeah. I think most wheels look nice with some lip, but anything over 2" is overkill more often than not.

i will admit that porsches can get away with all the dish they can handle. to me, on other cars it just looks like they are trying to hard.

Any race car can have dish wheel...the whole purpose is to make the wheel wider to fit more rubber....
