Ivan... Contact Brian or Ro at Capital Forged, it might be cheaper to buy new chrome lips, instaed of stripping and rechroming your old one's.

Ok, so i end up keeping the rims and I'm about to do this in a week or two depending on my schedule. Most likely two weeks. I plan on redoing my rims, refinishing it something different. Pick one choice.
My prior rims, i had chrome, i had polish with black center, and, polish with brush.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in order to have a chrome lip with any type of center besides chrome.. You need ginuwine 2/3 piece rims.(which cost considerably more) Chrome lips can't be done on 1 piece rims. Only brushed/polished lips. I can't tell if yours are 3pc or not.

Seems like every one likes the gun metal but with brush or chrome lips, right now i'm leaning toward chrome lip and gun metal. I'll see what capital forged can do for me. Thanks for the inputs.
