Can someone plz explain what exactly reverse drop center mean and how does such rim differ from a normal one?

as far as apperarence goes, reverse drop center would make the lip a nice flat lip with wider diameter of the face, where as the standard configuration has the step lip. however, the reverse drop center would often cause the water from rain to be trapped and cause vibration, until it becomes dried. :addict: :addict: :addict: :rs6kiss: :rs6kiss:


note: if u look closely on the inner surface of the wheel along the edge, u will notice that one has flat smooth center (reverse drop center), while the standard configuration would have a step leveling shape.

What do u think would be a better rim,three piece forged or one piece "lightweight" forged?

u want lip or no lip? if u don't care about lip, you're far better off with one piece lightweight forged wheels.:addict: :addict: :rs6kiss: :rs6kiss: :rs6kiss:
