I've got new wheels, the fronts are on and the rears are going on tomorrow. I didn't think I was going to like them at all in their current state (black gloss centres with diamond cut lip) and was planning on spraying them all satin black (lips included) but have been pleasantly surprised at how they look as they sit. To put my mind at rest, I got a mate to do a few photoshops of various colours (they're ok but most are a bit metallic looking) keeping the lip polished but with different coloured centres. Any opinions? Any other ideas? I had been thinking a matt baby blue, but out of all of them I quite like the purple, but probably not more than the black to be honest.

 

First pic is untouched with the fronts on, second is with the fronts pasted onto the rear, and the rest are variations.

It's sinful painting the lips when they're so shiny lol, but the more I look at the pics in this thread the more the ones Nic posted are jumping out at me bud, pretty sure that's the way I'll go. Quite proud of myself for keeping pink out of the running lol.

Rears on, spacers too. Bit disappointing as far as the stance goes, I've got h&r hubcentrics 20mm rear and 15mm front but could be doing with just a little touch more. Polished lips are growing on me tho.
