Default need opinions on customizing my wheels!

I ordered a set of wheels just over a month ago, and they should be here any day now. i want to either powder coat them white, or pc the lip white. what does everyone think?

white lip is fine. but powder is not.

gloss white is better. it will look fine on a white car. but not any other color.

i didnt realize ls460s and es350s were rice.

i just think the whole black wheels on white cars is played out. we'll see. maybe ill roll with them as they are first, then i can always paint them down the line.

i dont think u need to powder coat them cuz they already come powder coated..just paint the face and keep the chrome lip...or leave the black face and paint the lip white but i would not do it cuz the lip gonna get scratch and u gonna have to put touch up paint to it over and over
