Can anybody tell me what is the difference in Square and Round lip on wheels?
Also do you have to offset center dimensions for wider wheels? Also if I do how far should I offset center the wheel?
If I'm correct...

The round lips are actualy more invisable than on the blue rim you showed...they don't show any transition at all.

It may be the shadows, but I think that is it...they don't usualy show any lip, dip, or edge where the wheels connect to the tire. After seeing a set I was highly impressed. IMO I think that it is ok to mix the two style wheels...if you are having a factory rim widened then you can have just the rear done in a rounded lip and it should still look good because of the dish of the wheel being much larger than a front rim.

Yeah if you mix them up more than likely you'll be the only one to ever know/notice
