For those with reverse lip wheels, can you tell me how big your lip sizes are in the front and rear? I'm getting new wheels and want to get a nice lip (good proportion - not too big in the rear with no lip in the front and vice versa). Please post pics and measurements if available. Thanks everyone

Edwin

Ed,

I would have lost the bet that it would take this long for you to make the switch. Who wants the bet that Ed will be on at least his third set of wheels by June 1st?
