I like the way the rims look now but i have been debating blacking out the rims

They are 2 piece welded so it makes changing the lip finish a little difficult

Options

1. Matte Black face with polished lip

2. Gloss black face with a polished lip

3. Rim and lip both matte black

4. Rim and lip gloss black

5. Not changing anything

If anyone has Photoshop skills and can help, it would be much appreciated!
