leave them be. Black wheels don't have any depth unless you're up close. It just doesnt show off the lines of the spokes IMHO. I'd leave them as is or just have the whole damn thing black chromed!

I say paint. . . Too many other options out there for just chrome, or polish(excluding a handful, & bronze, gold, gunmetal polishes ect) I like cleaning it more too. Powdercoat is where it's at. (kinda seems to be the trend, doesn't mean u have to be a follower through.) as far as painting something that was orginally polished. Some turn out ok. Some don't.

I wouldn't spend that kinda of money on axis. For a quality pro it's gunna cost ya. Axis + paint money= used name brand. That won't break.

If ur set on keeping: No blue. Black in middle. And leave your barrels polished. imo you need some line or color break on black wheels. Otherwise from 10feet the tire and wheel kinda blend together and get visually lost in te wheelwell.

IN MY OPINION . . My favorite wheels are ones people have custom two toned. hands down (def 2 piece rim tho)

But there is a very thin line between tacky & one off.
I can try and PS it tomorrow, if you really want it.(or post request in proper area)

I would google black and blue rims. Bet you can get a great idea off another car/model

Keep it simple unless you really think you got something.

i still say no blue. but do it for yourself cause EVERYONE has different opinions on wheels. make it reflect what you want

make sure match that db perfectly, that bmw doesnt match.

i think you get the idea without it being on your exact car.... sorry kinda busy.

if you do the lips blue...you have to get them PAINTED not powder coated in order to get the closest color match...I see too many color matched lips...that just don't match.
