I married a blonde and bought fat lips :woot:

JMitch is right...reverse mount "fatlip" do collect water like no bodies business. LOL

Knowing that, I still ordered reverse mount on my new wheels because I just like the look better. It's all personal preference.

That channel will trap water whether you are driving in rain or just washing your car. On the way to RTTH's last year we got caught in the rain. We stopped for gas over 20 miles after it had stopped raining. Both rear wheels were still full of water. That water becomes really nasty with all the brake dust and road grime and it REALLY makes it tough to get the wheels clean again.

I switched to a set of step lip Forgeline and don't miss my fat lips at all.

so reverse lip = blonde????

Fat lip = is that girl you want to sleep with but not marry. Sorta a one night stand that you get tired of quick.

Thank you

I agree, the fat lips look better on modern cars and trucks, the step lip is more classic and "fits" the look of older iron.
