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.
