    if you do it...try and find a way to keep the bolts on the spokes silver...

    i think that combined with leaving the lip machined would look sharp

    post pics! i have the same wheels

    She's gone but not forgotten.
    Leave the lip for now, you can always do it later. Easier to add to paint than take paint off.
