Which color rims do you Like

This is a bad Photoshop conversion. Sorry for the poor match. Please let me know which kind you think looks better? Gold with the chrome lip or Chrome with the same lip.

If you have some picks of a red G with cool rims please show us.

Colored rims.........?

I've spent many hours looking at every combination of colored rim and what
Infiniti gave us to work with, here's my two cents.....
IP looks best with light gold centers and polished lip
Black looks best with black centers and polished lip
Any of the silver shades look best with the centers painted the color of the car with a polished lip but not black
All the other colors including my Twilight Blue look best with machined centers
and polished lips.....gold with TB or Red is over the top.....gaag. Those new
multicolored rims look good with black as well as the rims with black centers
and red stripe on the lip.....diffrent look! Still machined centers and highly
polished lips are difficult to beat! If you have any doubts check out the
pic in the gallery, that's why it's there.......

are you guys aware that most of the lips are polished and NOT chrome

polish is a process or sanding the metal

chrome is dipped
as in TOYS

chrome looks cheap imo

polish ftw

I am voting for bronze, but black is very close behind. I have to agree with you somewhat on the wheel color choices per car color. Here are my thoughts:

- IP - gold, bronze or black
- LR - bronze, black or gold
- DG - gunmetal or silver
- OB - bronze, gold or black
- TB - silver or gold
- CB - gunmetal or silver
- BS - gunmetal or silver
- SS - silver, maybe black or bronze, don't see too many

Most with polished lip, but CE28N in bronze looks great without it.
