Default suggestions on paint color for work meisters

hey guys i bought a set of work meisters and i was gonna get them repolished and painted so i was thinking, why not paint the lip instead. i was thinking...

1. keep the polish lip and face flat black leave rivets
or
2. gloss black lip and flat black face gold rivets
or
3. candy red lip flat black face leave rivets
or
4. some crazy neon color shiet

Good idea or bad idea? thoughts? suggestions?

If you do anything at all... Gold or titanium rivets.
Then (perhaps matte) Brit racing green centers w sanded bare barrels.

Why do they look so tiny? No offense, but they jusy don't look right.

My choice would be to restore them to their original finish, sell them and then buy a more aggressive sized set

What ever you decide on the face, I would leave the lip polished.

Black cars look good with polished lip.

Don't under any circumstances do anything gold.

Never say flat black, only go with semi gloss or gloss.

Gloss black face and metallic gray lip. It keeps the whole color scheme going.

I think u should try matte colors on both Face and lip, btw looks like those tires are too much stretched.

these are not work's but you still can get idea.

thanks for the suggestions, i actually wanted to get something more flashy? like something different cause there are so many rims with a chrome lip. i wanna do like... neon green! what you think!?!?

Im also getting new tires, so dont look at the tires...

What's the specs on your rims? I'm looking to get these same wheels. I think a gunmetal lip with gloss or matte black center would flow very well with the Nismo.
