I had them with my Axis wheels. What size are you looking for? Many of the 19" staggered wheels have step lips. VarrsToen, a popular "knockoff" wheel company has step lips.

Step lips make the wheel appear smaller than it is, in my opinion.

Agree. The face of the wheel is smaller because the lip takes up more of the space, so a 19" wheel may look like 18" because there of reduce space for the spokes. Conversely, I think it makes the lip look wider which may appeal to more people considering the recent fads.

I don't care whether it has a step lip or not, once I find the spoke design I want that'll take precedence.
