Personally the color looks a little blingy for me. However, I'm pretty conservative. Leave the color as is and mount it on to see if you like it. Thinking about it more, you can paint the centers hyper-black and leave the lips polished. It will look light with the car during the day. At night the lips could shadow the centers and it will look dark for contrast.

BTW, did you sand using a wooden sanding block or a foam sanding block?

I would mount two on one side, take a couple good pics from profile, post it here and have some of the guys photochop it a couple different ways so you can pick the best color

nice wheels .. i think you should paint the rims the same color as your car, and leave the lip as it is. a silver car should have silver wheels. it looks more original and at the same time mean/evil (because of the lip)thats just my apinion if you asked me

I personally think the color wont look good on my car, but we will see. I'm gonna at least take a look at it before I changed the color.


Neither, I used a rubber one. Foam probably would have been better. Would have been easier to move my hands along the contour of the lips.

I'll have pics this weekend for sure!

Wet sanding one in one of my bathrooms like a boss. Cleanup is going to be horrible LOLOL


Done!






I know these pics suck since they are cell phone pics, but I'm charging up some batteries now for my digital cam to take more pics. My iPhone doesn't do the shine justice at all.
