They are great wheels...look terrific too. I have the K18's(unlike those which are the K18R) on my car...very resilient.

A lot of guys don't like the step lip as they aren't as "blingy" as the reverse. Its totally a personal preference. I have the best of both worlds with each car. You just have to worry about rain with a reverse lip (as so I have heard on the boards) with water settling and getting a nasty vibration. I have had my K18's to the track and everywhere else without any issues at all. Here are some pics of them on my car.

Things are good Alex...thanks for asking.

Yes, reverse lip vibraion while driving in the rain. Water accumulates in the wheel well...and causes a vibration. I think there might have been a thread or two on it....look for HRE. Not sure it's exclusive to HRE or not...but I will tell you my experience....I never noticed it in the rain. I suppose I drove fast enough for the water to not accumulate.
