I've been geeting that a lot about looking dirty. What I wanted to do was that color centers with a bronze/copper lip but when I did the lip on the first wheel the paint came off when I took the tape off so I just did this

they both look good in thier own ways. the first one looks good because it looks clean and something i would keep. the second one looks good because it looks like its racey and kind of rally like and sporty, but its whatever you want

I think they look the business. The car looks so much better now, but each to their own.
