Default Not a fan of gloss black with polished lip.. BUT >>>

I love ALL BLACK rims or TIME ATTACK rims, and I also LOVEEE the black roof..

In the near future i might be refinishing my rims myself and painting them a matte black and getting the roof painted..

Default Mee three! I need to repair some major rash, then matte black and possibly time attack >

Black roof will be done by my body shop when time comes.

I mainly want the rims done because they make the car look soo sh!TTTY because they are really curbed up..

Most of it was NOT me though, thank god..

And really thinking about this.. Not sure how it will look on AVUS SILVER though. It looks great on black but avus is a very weird color when it comes to dark colord rims.

Default I'm lookin to paint my wheels black too, but am thinking the lip would make it look nicer...

you mentioned polishing the lip- do you plan on painting it all black then sanding off the lip and redoing that? or masking it off in the first place and just painting the rest black? I'm not sure if im going to be doing repairs while im at it, but i might be up for it... but either way how do you plan on doing the lip? for painting im just thinking 320 grit sanding, prime, and paint
but duno how i wanna do the lip
