Ok my G brotherin. I need your help with my wheels!
So I have a tb coupe, 04.
I have 19" hiro's They are gunmetal, with a silver lip.
The lip on 2 of the wheels (1 front, and 1 rear) have started some kind of corrosion, and they are starting to look terrible.
I really want to refinish them. I really like the look of silver wheels on TB, but I am throwing around some other ideas.
Im tossing around ideas of just ditching the silver lip and going with a solid color for the wheels. Like maybe a bronze.
What are you thoughts. What do YOU think would look good?
This is the car.
(please dont mind how dirty she is, it's 8 degrees here right now! haha)
test fitting my new lip
(sorry for cellphone pics also, im not much of a photographer)
Do you think I should keep them gunmetal? The finish on the spokes them selves is fine. Its just the lip.
Paint them all 1 color?
Im just down right torn on what to do guys!
hahah thanks for the help!

OMG...."White" are you nuts, what are your creating a Circus wagon....all that's missing are the elephants and lions! I can appreciate the gold wheels shown in the previous pic but that too is a lot of "Bling!"
Matthew, we love our TB coupes there's a reason you didn't think about white! If the lips on your wheels are getting funky have the polished, they'll be like new wheels. The GM centers look good with the Twilight Blue, just get the lips polished. Look for a wheel repair shop in your area, we have several here in SoCal. Forget what Beebo said about white wheels, he needs evaluation but I retired!
