Default Which do you like better?
I'm not going to make my decision based on whether or not you guys like it, but I just thought I'd get your opinions.

I'm getting sick of the polished lip, so I decided to paint it and the centers black. Whattayallthink? I'm also going to get more stock lugnuts, so I can use the black caps!

Sorry, but all black looks like crap to me. Reminds me of a spare tire or some of those ricers running around with spares on the front.

I love it!!! soooo many people run around with zr1's with the polished lips.. I personlly can't stand it... doesn't match anything else on the car.. looks out of place.. etc. I love the way all black looks (?really?!?!) now don't get me wrong zr1's do look good on some cars.... just personal opinions

I'm not a fan of the all-black look either. In your pic, it looks like the front wheel is all black from brake dust (since the front and rear wheels don't match).

Ultimately, it's your car so do what you want....

All black!!! I love it!!! Polished lip to me looks out of place on most cars. All black looks meaner and more modern. The polished lip IMO makes rims look like they are an older style rim from the 80's. IMO polished lip only looks good on silver/alloy rims on a pewter/silver car. Polished lip on black looks out of place.

Do what ever you want with the car because at the end its all lies on what you like. If you keep the all black look put polished lug nuts, that will accent the wheels better than black.
