I'm starting to think about the black lip with the polished spoke. Everything black but the face of the spokes...

Here's what u do if you want to test it. Take electrical tape...tape them up...put them on...if you dont like it...take it off, if you do...take it off and paint it.

the black with the polished lip makes your car look a lot taller.

if you want to keep it low looking go with the pink lip and gloss black. it looks different and will stand out at meets but if you expect to get a date in that...

goodluck

http://www.forgiato.com/gallery/infiniti.htm ........ Just found these. Check out the FX
The lips I saw in those pics still have some definition to them, like they are dipped in a dark black chrome. I can clearly tell where the lip begins and tire ends -- with what you discribed originally that was not the case and made me think of the Hype's. You gotta admit the pattern of Eric's wheels and the Hype's are similar -- of course his iForged are actually quality made, baller status wheels -- not trying to knock E-Rock's wheels here.








I think your first instincts are always the best. I know when I got my PPW Z, I originally wanted Gold wheels and three different color sets later I still want a set. PINK FTW!!!
