I think you should do whatever you feel looks best. my personal opinionregarding that style of wheel is that it should be 1 color, and if you wantsomething with a silver lip and painted spokes you should look for somesimilar wheels but with a little more lip (where the spoke doesn't meet thelip directly). if you are going to go with a different color lip on these fromthe spoke color, I like your idea of black and blue lip.

if it were me and I were going to paint them to put on your car, I would do the whole wheel either dark bronze or black/gunmetal.I just think that if you leave the lip silver on that style of wheel itwill look like something off a honda.

I also don't think your wheels look bad in silver mate, looks prettyrespectable on that bad a$s silvia of yours.

Agreed. I don't much care for the polished lip when there really isn't a lip to polish. I would go with a dark bronze or leave them the silver, they don't look bad.
