    I think you should color the entire wheel gunmetal...

    Although I may be biased. I'm a fan of gunmetal on a black car, but I think gunmetal wheels on a white car is even better.

    Plastidip the lip and take some pictures and drive on them for a few weeks. You will figure out really quick if you like the look or not. Or just do one side of the car so you can easily compare irl

    Trying, but having hard time getting the results that I want. I think I might have found my process last night. 1000-2000 grit followed by some aluminum polish. I've been haunted by hazing and holograms that you can see in those pics^.
