Do it black chrome lip and matte black face, something similar to this. Black chrome is a little more expensive but totally sets you apart from the rest. This is laidback's car (M-fest CEO). I would have done the same if I had my iForged Imola still.

the silver car i think makes it a hard decision

Although those wheels look sick, I think the goal is to keep the matte gray spokes..

They look great as is. I'd do matte black instead of gloss, they'd match the other black trims.

No to gloss on gloss. Get something that contrasts like matte blk center w/ gloss blk face.

I was wanting to keep the matte grey center,
I like the matte grey, but I wouldn't go gloss black on the lip unless the trim and grilles are gloss, gotta keep the theme bro
P.S. I REALLY like the matte grey
