I've been thinking about doing this with my HRE's. I need to get the centers painted and rebuilt anyway. I'd like to see one of our cars with this style.

I feel like the lip, if anything, should be seen. Gives that illusion of the full size of the wheel. That G37 looks hot though....

I'm on the fence, I want to see some pics of it on real cars. Not the pics that they have.

Matte black spokes with a anodized black gloss lip would be hot.

This is the finish I suggested to them as well but it needs to be all gloss black or all flat black.

Hmm...those make the wheels appear smaller than they are, IMO.

neat for track wheels, but not really for a regular car.

Anodized black lips would be HELL to clean.

i'd like it a lot if the lip was a gloss black, not flat painted.

Oh I know. I have anodized black centers. I dread cleaning day. To polish the lips I have to tape up the centers real good. Takes forever. The finished product is worth it though.
