As long as the lip is clear coated ALSO... if you go with VIP looking rims do NOT get huge tires but go with smaller tires for the stretch look, if you go sport then get the bigger tires.

chrome is easiest! Polished is nice but you have to maintain it to keep it shining. Clear coat will protect it for awhile, fading and flaking off later.
