+3 on painting the lip blue blasian. Those look absolutely sick the way they are too though. I really wouldve like to have done that with my car. I never was able to find a nice set of track wheels though!

Did em myself.
I'm gonna leave a layer of blue tape on the lip. I'd rather not paint it just in case ya know?
We'll see how it goes

Just cleaned the hell out of em, sanded em down, used Dupli-color high heat primer then coated with Dupli-color High Temp Engine Enamel in Gold. I will use the Dupli-color wheel clearcoat.
