Wow I'm traditionally a lip hater but those look really amazing, jealous!
Props on the sanding too I spent last week polishing my headlights which was 'only' 10 hours and that was a lot of work!

Test fitted one
Yay or nay on the color. It looks better than I thought with the gold
Also, I recently bought one of these since I refuse to use the emergency jack to raise the car

first let me say you did an amazing job on restoring the wheels. second, i absolutely LOVE the gold centers.
but alas, the gold on the silver is a big no no from me. i would break the wheels down and have the centers sandblasted to remove the paint then polished like the lips or machined for a cool new look. OR consider a vinyl wrap on your car to really mix things up.

Phenomenal job!!! I might be PMing you when the weather is nice so I can fix a little curbage on one of my rims. You plan on painting your rims yourself or powder coating professionally?
