That looks Badass dude! Big Difference!!! I Think they would look sick with a polished black powder coated lip. Chrome lips too played out now..just my opinion...

Looks good. I'd say leave the chrome lip, as it works well with the chrome trim on the windows

the rims look great. keep the chrome on it. matches the trim nicely. i dont think this is murdered out in any way, but the black theme on SGM shows a nice contrast.

Im just torn, I really like black whees, but i think it might be too much on my car, also i feel it makes the rim look a bit smaller, Still up in the air what to do. I might just change to these rims. I can get a great deal on them, what do you guys think about these on my ride?
