Gunmetal Grey vs Gunmetal grey w/ polished lip?

Not the most up to date pic of my car, but it was a good angle for the photoshop.

What does everyone think?





Let me know on the poll!

I have the materials to keep it polished, and I don't think black wheels on black cars contrasts well enough for my tastes!

Ty for the suggestion tho

^Yeah I'm inclined to agree with that, i think gunmetal looks really sharp! So now I have to choose between lip and no lip, no lip makes the wheels look bigger but the lip has that cool ring when you're driving! bah..

i saw a coupe on the forum that had gunmetal with polished lip it looked great and ppl were giving him lots of compliments but i don't think i saved the pic. This looks great too lol but this only works if you have everthing else blacked out. I think gunmetal is the one for you

Just talked to Wheel Medic here in Columbus, and they said they can do each wheel for $105, regardless of lip or no lip, and they will clear the whole thing including the lip
