Should I polish my lip?
I have stock OEM 19"s, should I pay $200 per wheel to get the lip polished? Or should I get new rims? Need your advise...

I would wait till you bald your tires (because they'll bald quickly anyways) and just get new rims...

A total of 8 bills to polish 4 - 19" OEM's? . . . I personally do not think that's worth the cashola. The 19" stockers look fine, as they are. You might consider getting a wider tire/wheel combo later.

if u can get the centers painted black and polish the lip i would say go for it, but i dont think the lip would show enough on stock wheels to have just the lip and silver paint

Save about 2K in cash, sell your OEM 19's (If its not a lease) with your tires and buy a whole new set of wheels+tires for 3K

That is way more than powder coating the rims. Dont do it 800 can help pay for your new rims
