Default What Do You Guys Think About These???

So this would just be temporary until summer time... I found a good deal on some WS6 wheels & I am thinking about getting them. I would paint them all back including the center cap & lug nuts. Then when the time comes I was going to get some black SS 10 spokes or ZR1 wheels.



what you think? & my car would be lowered & it doesn't have the body kit anymore!

I prefer a chrome lip on black rims. Kinda separates the tire from the rim so they don't look like one big black blob. But thats just my preference. I know some people like the blacked out look.

from the pictures it looks like there's a lip there... although that only complicated the process if your doing it on your own

looks good to me. i think the polished lip looks good, certain cars can get away with the totally blacked out look, but those look good on your car i think

I like a polished lip to, if you can find a rim that you like and has a good one.
