All black wheels are so outdated IMO and you simply lose the definition of the wheel unless in "perfect" lighting. My girl associates all black wheels with hubcap cheap wheels and unless you are trying to build a show car that requires an all black wheel, I would keep the polished lip.

Primecut's reason is also a great point to consider!
Most people would say that and I always consider what most people think, rather than a few enthusiasts prefer - when it comes to pure cosmetics... Polished lip FTW!

polished lip, all black looks almost like our stock wheels after 2-3 days of driving without washing the wheels, lol..... In my opinion all black wheels looks too much like the honda civics trying to be jdm with their all black rims or steelies.....

the polished lip on those is too much, if you can make a stripe would be better.

I was the only F, but there were 7 GTR's, I am starting to see quite a bit of those on the roads now. Iv seen young and old and even women in them. I think the GTR might become oversaturated. There were a lot of cars there, Lambo, Ferrari, porsche, mazarati.......lots of vettes, bmw, and audi also. Saw a real nice classic Mercedes 300Sl.
