anodize the lip blue not paint.
It would look cleaner if anodized instead of painted...

looks badass, BUT i dont think ill like them for that long, i think i would get bored of them and that look will go out of style., classic colors liek silver/graphite they wont ever go out of style.
Looks cool, but the look will get old, stick with what you have

it looks nice but when it comes time to sell, it'll be very hard to sell the wheels.

Don't flame me for saying this but, wouldn't the color fade over time?

when it comes to sell ill buy them off him. (second thoughts get them painted. that way the LGP is 100% spot on and they wont fade... i would have them do a couple extra coats clear.. (only problem i forsee is mounting the tire.. the wheels are front mount... whereas those tires on lambo are reverse mount... maybe an anodizing would be required to be stronger...

in a nut shell if it works out and the paint doesnt chip w/ tire mount and u dont liek em ill buy em and then sell you a set of 2 piece at cost so u can start back off at square one.


hope this works out

When I do this I will get the lip painted LBP not anodized. I think it will be hard to get the lip anodized to the exact color im going for. And the last thing im worried about is selling them because I could just get them repainted or sell them to the WHORE Riley Thanks for all your feedback people!!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but here in the states we do not have the capability of anodizing wheels. Clear coating, but no anodizing.

The blue lip is definitely sick. I'd leave the matte gunmetal finish though. But you know what?????......it's your car bro
