I dunno.... For some reason the whole car just loses it pop out at you look... The car looks more subtle with the new design.. But like you said you can strip it and go back... Its your choice and YOU should make it

Man thats funny you posted these because I am going back and forth on doing my HRE's in the flat black/Blue combo in that exact pic you posted. I say do it as long as the entire lip matches the car color, it will look sick. Its not like you have cheap *** wheels, it always looks like **** on cheap wheels, AMAZING on nice ones. But I know how you feel, when wheels are that expensive screwing them up is scary.

I don't think I'm doing it. Spice is a very dynamic color and in darker light its gets much darker, and I don't think it would look right on overcast days or at night. Looks great on bright cars but Spice just gets too dark under dim light for it to really pop like it needs to IMO.
I'm down to pretty much replicating a brushed nickel or titanium finish on the faces and leaving the polished lip, going high metallic silver on the faces and leaving the polished lip, or just picking up some ZoopSeal and hoping for the best.
Now:
Color Matched:
Brushed Nickel/Titanium:
A still of a Vette with the brushed nickel finish, it's not gunmetal or graphite as it has a bit more dimension and a more high class look to me...
