Red lip

I can't possibly see how it can look good; Are you just curious or really thinking about it?

I like it if your car is that dark cherry red, not the stock red

Time Attacks have a protruding lip that is painted red though, none of the OEM wheels have this protruding lip so it won't look the same, and its going to be hard to find a painter to get an even line all the way around the wheel, most likely will require an experienced pinstriper to do it. I still think it will look retarded, but thats just IMO

Paint your stocks bronze! wait...what color is your G?

well for time attacks i would just buy the real volks..seen some bad attempts at painting aftermarket/stock wheels the time attack look...Also like it was said before the stock wheels dont really have the lip to do the red lining

The apr wheels aren't like the time attacks though, the entire lip is red, and it seems to either be a candy or anodized coating rather than solid
