I like the flat lip looks more shiney
Actually looking at it more I like the step lip looks more aggressive which could be the look your going for? Yes no?

step lip looks better... but flat lip makes it look more "Phat".. i guess?
Is this for the Aristo?
If you're going real VIP stance (massive camber) etc, i'd go flat.. else, i'd go step. _________________1994 Black JZS147 Aristo - RIP. Went swimming

it depends on what your aiming for, aggressive, go with the step lip, for VIP, there is more dish in the flat lip, not sure on how it would look on an aristo, photochop anyone?? _________________JZS147 CLUB STICKERS

for those saying flat is more VIP, there is actually a lot of VIP people (inc myself ) running stepped lips as they are a bit more 'interesting'/'detailed'. probably as popular if not more than straight these days..
Also random bonus, stepped lip is stronger from an engineering viewpoint so if theyre big with small tyres stepped may last longer and be less prone to damage
