I'm fixing some rash on my wheels and decided to paint them. Should I:

A: just polish the lip again.

B: paint just the outer edge of the lip as it is now.

C: paint the whole lip like the model?

Obee, sick with the 3d skills. I vote repolish, i know its a pita but still it looks better imo.

Repolish the lip, I think it will look the least tacky and if it looks the first pic, t3h sex.

97TurboDSM · 09-04-2007, 08:51 PM

dont see too many fully painted lips. im voting that

BMS · 09-04-2007, 09:20 PM

DEF, Paint the whole lip

malloyboy1 · 09-04-2007, 11:17 PM

everyone has black or gunmetal wheels with a polished lip go with painting the lip

Silverfc88 · 09-04-2007, 11:49 PM

I think the red ring could work, but I think you should paint the rest of the lip black.

Maybe all black wheels or even gunmetal painted lips?

Omar_MSP · 09-05-2007, 12:30 AM

i'd say, just polish it again. i love how it looks as is.

jspek · 09-05-2007, 12:34 AM

obee i voted paint the whole lip. if you wanna be ballin, honestly id paint it like a cool metallic pink. not bright but like a darker pink. that'd be hot.

The01Cav · 09-05-2007, 12:39 AM

I vote for a good polish!

jspek · 09-05-2007, 12:47 AM

eviltalon · 09-05-2007, 12:27 PM

i voted to paint it. Either way its going to turn out hot imo.

pinkarrowsnow · 09-05-2007, 03:07 PM

ahhh he painted it guys I saw on Zilvia looks good though.

D Money · 09-05-2007, 03:26 PM

The new thing is painting the lip and annodized color and the centers a different color.

Maybe black centers with kandy apple red lip or something. THE WHOLE LIP. Not that corny time attack style garbage.

here is a pic off my friend Eddie Farcon's bimmer.

OBEEWON · 09-05-2007, 04:18 PM

Thanks for all your opinions guys. Most of the votes went to a re-polish as I thought they would. So I painted the whole lip. I just wanted to make sure I was doing something not everyone would do. Thanks again.

Now for a paint job, and some better wheels...

D Money · 09-05-2007, 04:22 PM

You should have used the 3-stage spray paint where they come out annodized. That woulda been sick.
