All-black/gunmetal (no lip) wheels?
I saw some all-gunmetal 19's on a red Gallardo this weekend and you know what, they looked awesome. I've always thought that the chrome lip looks out of place on wheels (wheels should either be black to match the tint/rubber or be of whatever color the car is) and was just proven right. These are the wheels I want for my redline. Silvers look out of place because they don't match anything, blacks with lip look out of place because the chrome doesn't go with anything either. So as far as all-black or all-gunmetal 19's go, what are my choices?

I have the Work CR Kai wheels...if you don't go with a lip, then go with a concave wheel - I like both styles:
here's another shot w/ a redline w/ silver Volks...I think silver rims go well b/c the door handles match:

Mine are more of a gun metal then black. Not sure what kind they are as they were on the car when I bought it. If someone knows please let me know.
