Brakes I want your opinion on paint color.

Hi everyone. I have a 2004 Laser Red coupe. NON Brembo.

So I got my set of AVUS wheels and its time for a change.

So my question to You is,

What color should I paint the LIP. They are CHROME at the moment and not feeling the chrome anymore. And the face of the wheel is GREY.

All ideas are welcome!!!!!! Thanks

I just created a Photobucket for this so here's a picture.

It's tough to really pick a color for the lip without it look bad. IMO, paint matched lips look like ****. If I had to choose something besides chrome, I'd go with a black chrome lip with a flat black face.

Not sure man. I want something different.

I might have to consider painting the whole wheel Except the Barrel.
