Need Opinions about wheels

Well, I've decided to keep my Current wheels which are Volk Racing / Rays Engineering GT-N's. They're 18x8 gunmetal.

Anyways, I want to keep them but change them up. I found a powder coater that will change the color for a good price. They'll even take them apart so it will look better.

Here's a pic of my car


This was the color combo.

-Just paint the face blue with polished lip
-Paint the face Black with Polished Lip
-Paint the Lip Blue with Black Face
-Paint the Lip Black with Blue Face.

I also need to powder coat it again cuz the shops that I've taken my car to messed up some of the current paint. Opions will be appriciated. Thanks.

whatever you do keep the polished lip, it looks good on a cam.
I'd say black face, matches the dark hood.

black face with a blue lip to match the car would be really hot & something different...i like the polished lip & all but its kinda played out if you know what i mean.
the blue lip would really set off the black nicely

hrmm??? blue face with a polished lip?? uh???

eh.. i'd go with the black face polished lip , so much easier to take care of,
looks clean and think about it you'll probably never have to clean the face just the lip. it'll always look good ... CLASSIC!

I like it the way it is now... The gunmetal matches the hood and you would save some money.

I'm voting for black face with polished lip. Car looks hot though. What kit is that, and can I see a pic of the rear?

Blue color match to car, keep polished lip. Polished lip matches chrome trim on windows. Tires match hood/top color already.
Would even try to paint calipers to match bod color.

Option would be reverse of 2wickedtoyz, paint blue face to match side and spoke sides to match top..but that would seem a little busy.

imho

We East Coast Brothers Have to ban together to Fight off the Evil West Coast

Really though Yukio, Black rims with a polished lip would look very good on your car
