Default LE 37's with red lip? yay or nay...

pic request for custom painted red lip le37s...
__________________________________________________ ___

reason being: I have some le37s just waiting to be slapped on my s2k, but I was wondering how to go about painting them.

I am definitely going to consider painting the insides of each spoke black (to give the rims more presence) but im debating wheather to put a red lip on them or not and I never thought the decision would be so hard so i figure ill ask the s2k community for the hell of it

heres an idea of what it would look like before and after:



WHICH ONE DO YOU LIKE BETTER?
(please try to see past my bad photoshop skills )

1. Volks as is

2. Volks with inner portions of the spokes painted black

3. Volks + inner portions of the spokes painted black with red lip

4. keep the rims i have now lol

this is my car now for reference-

If you are painting the inside of the spokes black, leave the red off. The wheels will have too much going on.

I really like the red edge on the lip but dont like the inside of the spokes black. Id say leave the spokes alone.

I like the LE's as is

am i the only one?

don't do red lips, theyre just a fad

any mod you do to them will only make them harder to sell / worth less if you ever decide to go a different path

just my opinion
