Ron, I'm gonna go totally against the grain here. But, I vote flat lip if you ask me. I love the deeper look, and to me, that's what pro-toring exemplifies on wheels...the bigger deeper look with a fat rear tire. I know for you track guys, the step lip is for function, etc. But coming from me, a guy who has a zero desire to take my car to a track, function matters not to me. Now, a wheel has to function of course in general, meaning I will not put the bottom of the barrel on my car, but it will have to function the rigors of me hauling ass on the freeway. :lol: To me, there's nothing sweeter than a nice, fat 335/30/19 on a 69 with a fat lip. That's just me.:_paranoid Step lip wheels look so throwback to me when the largest diameter wheel we had was a 15" back in the 80's. :D

nope the fact that you are tucking quite a bit of tire changes the look. but the cars that sit higher on 26's get that drum look going on with the short WIDE rear tires.

my car is the same color and has the same color stripes. I prefer a bright wheel though.

Apparently
 
no one but myself. LOL Everyone likes to look at yellow cars, but no one wants to own one.

Ron, not sure if I told you this, but those are C6Z06 sizes and offsets. Rear is actually a 12.5x19, 9.5 inner and 3' outer with +53 mm offset. Fronts are 18x9.5, 8.0' inner and 1.5 outer with +37 offset.
