+1 what camber kit do you have? Its kinda rare to see positive camber on a Z.

I dont have blue lips but im sure somebody can photoshop the tiny lips on my Z:





IMHO it may look ok(but probably not good) if the lips are color matched.

BTW this is a drunk post so dont hate too much.

I would say no to a blue lip. Blue inside with polish lip would b diff I guess.

my point is that the original finish is just fine. you're not going to
accomplish anything by coating the rims. they look fine.

you'll damage resale value surely.

Agree.
Imo you shouldn't get those spokes powder coated to a "bright" color since it will make them look too "stand" out.
Leave them as is or get new wheels.
