Help me decide

I have an 06' DG Coupe with black Volk GT-7's. The lips on the wheels are starting to lose their shine and are getting hazy spots. I've never really been a big fan of the polished look so I was thinking of either powdercoating the lips to match the car, have the lips black chromed, or have them powdercoated black. What do you think will look good?

If you don't like the polished lip I would PC them to match the car or have them brushed.

I like the polished look so I would re-polish or chrome them.

You're losing it.......!

Those GT7s look great on your car, don't mess with perfection. Have the
lips repolished/clearcoated and enjoy those cooool rims! Powdercoating the
lips would do nothing to the way you car looks.. forget it!

have the lips re-polished then sell them if you are not a fan of the polished look and get some black or gunmetal TE37's. don't ruin those beautiful GT-7's.

imo, polished lip would look the best, but get whatever looks best to you, since that's all that really matters
