bbs rs advice

I have 16inch bbs rs rims on my fc and I want to renew the lips, so I was wondering which lips I should take. I can get them from 1" to 3.5" .
Mind you I will also lower the car with some coilovers.
Here's a pic of my car.
Thanks

are you saying that you can take the rim apart and replace the whole outer part of the wheel?
