the way the RK spokes hit the edge you could make a faux lip but the paint line would be obvious. maybe paint the wheel so that just the spokes are black and the rest is silver/polished

Yeah, if i had some LMs then i'd like a gold finish, but i think the gunmetal looks better on this wheel.

Ordering them today!

too bad the Parallels fell through...this should look sweet though, and extremely functional

Or... one color?

you know you need the bling on the lip. my vote is still for stove paint, but oh well.

Black with a polished lip looks great when you have a black cars. Since you're all white, the all black may be a better idea. You do have the red bumper strip though, which you may want to change to black if you go with the one color black wheels. I think in the end with all satin black wheels, trim, and window treatments you'll have a much sharper car...

shaper?

I think an all black rim would get lost, and get that steelie look that i dont think alex digs.

With his brakes I think you'll have enough silver to show throgh the BBS spokes. I doubt anyone will confuse the look with the steelie look.

I do agree that the lip will look tight. I think I'm getting more that the bumper trim needs to be black and not red anymore.
