Work Wheels - Different lips?
 
I've noticed that some work wheels have lips that look like this:

and a lot of the wheels Work carries are offered in both options.

I see, I see.

Is there any advantage of one over the other? Such as added strength...or weight?

Yes, but only if they offered the GS4's in 19" with step lip. Argggggh, o well, 20's here I come.

Same here...I prefer the 19"s but am going with the GS4's in 20" because the step lip jus really sets it off.

They don't make the step lip in the 19" gs4 because they don't make an 18" gs4. To make the step lip in a 20" lets say, they would use a 19" face and a 20" barrel and so on.

To the OP's question, no the step lip and standard lip are the same strength. I would guess the step lip would be a tiny bit lighter. Do to the smaller face, like the 19" face on a 20" barrel, or you could just get the 19" wheel and it would be lighter all around.
