Default BBS LM's

I picked up a used set of silver LM's (18x8 / 18x9.5) and I'm gonna take them to a local wheel shop to have the lips re-polished so they're minty new. I want to get the centers powdercoated....I'm leaning toward gold but am open to ideas if anyone wants to chime in

They are going on an '04 Rio

LMs are too sexy to hide behind a black face. Id say gunmetal is your best bet.

I agree. I've seen a few pics of LM's with a black face and the wheel seems to disappear.

Keith took the words out of my mouth. That's why I recently purchased a new set of 18" LMs for my NFR in the original/classic Bright Silver finish.

I like my wheels to provide contrast, so Scott, I'd opt for a finish similar to the Bright Silver finish

My lonely LMs sitting in the living room waiting for some tires:

Thanks for the link Kev! I think you are right, I would get bored with silver. I'm leaning toward gold or bronze but gunmetal might look good. I'm going to have the centers back mounted to gain more lip.
