Default Matte Black with White Lips
Thinking about getting my lips powder coated white to match my IS350 and was wondering if anyone knows hard is it to maintain it. Does it get dirty alot faster than black or chrome lips and would I have to wipe it down everyday?

obviously yes it would show dirt a lot more then say black or silver wheels. you could wipe it down every day if you want.

btw this is the classified wheel forum

Powdercoated parts are easy to take care of. Just wipe it down with a towel.

Wheel gap can be closely compared to vagina. The more fingers you can fit, the worse off you are.

I guess ill one of the first is350 with a matte blk with white lip wheels, I guess we'll see how it turns out. Will post when it's finished. Just not sure if I should go with gloss black lip.
