expect to add a TA stripe on the lip edge...they look like 17"s with a powdercoated lip...and get polished black.

That's too bad man, I think they look good the way they came from the Rays factory. Looks really nice against daytona blue that way. I think painting the lips black kills the effect of the wheel. I agree with Zeriafan's advice about the TA stripe, but I still didn't think it looked that great (no offense Zeriafan!)

I disagree. I've always felt that a polished lip on a black wheel makes them look smaller. I think blacking them out completely would look good. It's definitely going to change the look though.

Another thought is to do matte black centers and gloss lips.
