First thing is first. I am aware there is a wheel section. I use it frequently. HOWEVER, a lot of people do not and i want the opinions of a broad selection of people, so i put it here to get the opinions of those who don't venture into the wheel/tire section.

Alright, with that being said. Some of you know i recently painted my wheels. I did a temp paint by using Plasti-Dip on them first, so if i didn't like them, i could put them back to how they were. I love the white so they are getting a permanent paint job this week.

Now, the real question is... Do i paint the lip or leave the lip? I am completely lost here, i love the lip one day, then the next i think i want it white as well. The main reason i want to paint it is because it would cover some of the minor rash on them from the previous owner.

So i want to know your thoughts on this. Let me now.

 

Jus my opinion but I say 1st choice polish whole things, if your set on white then do the whole wheel white. White with polish lip on that blue doesnt look that great to me...

 

imo, i would only go white if there were white lips on the front and rear bumper. but second thought it would look good, then not look good just the skirts white.

im actually in the same pickle.

 

Wouldnt it be easier if you put this in your build thread?

Keeping it one color would look nice.

 

lol i guess i could put it in my build thread, but i don't know how many people actually look at it.

Mmmpsh, i would polish the whole thing, but i am just not a fan of them i am a sucker for white on NB tC's

 

u can always just buy my white wheels and save mooney on painting them =X!! lmao j/k =] umm try plasti dipping the whole wheel white first before u actually get them painted. if u dont like it peel it off and dont do it white...post a pic up of them all white after you do this bc i wanna see...i always loved all white wheels <3

 

^ yes

 

go for white... ive seen a bunch of nice blue tcs with white wheels !!

 

^x2...blue on all white would look hot. idk why, but im drawn to these wheels lol...car looks good btw.

 

I would go all white, but that's because I don't like polished lips.

 

+1 vote for a full polish

 

Change up those rims to the bronze. I have a NMB tc with the silver trd 18's and it looks great. I am not a fan of white, or half polished rims. maybe a gunmetal lip (still no white centers) OR I love that iridium/titanium look (the blurple/yellow/flip flop). Can you get your lips polished like that and do a gunmetal center??

 

Skeet, the faces are currently plati-dipped with the white on there. I did it when i wasn't sure what color i wanted to do them. A lot of people are telling me to keep the polished lip because it is what makes these wheels different from other white wheels out there. I guess i am just going to keep them for now until i get a wheel that i want that is all white.

and thanks blktc

 

I say go all white!! The polish kinda throws it off IMO.

 

I agree with boricua3230. The polished lip doesn't really belong with your wheels since the main face is white. I say paint it all white or whichever color you were going for.

 

Ahhhhh so many mixed reviews

 

Unfortunately that's what happens when you are on a forum. LOL. Everyone has their opinion. That is why in the end, you should go with what YOU feel. Good luck on your decision.

 

Prolly gunna keep the lip for the time being.

 

I wish my rims had chrome lips instead of polished. Would it cost a lot of money to get the lips chromed out?

 

another vote for white the polish clashes too much in my opinion! either way sweet tc
