i would not do a color matched lip, way too "unique whips" for my taste.

A dark gunmetal or flat black would look cool.

black w/ chrome lip would be my last choice simply because I already had a set of wheels like that but with a bigger lip...

This was suppose to be photochopped in the gif. but I didnt want to whine after the great work he did. the only problem is that I cant find the yellow rings in 17" only 18"+ post up a link if you have any for 17".. thanks

I have to admit, I like my current setup with the silver face and chrome lip but my car looks like an RC car from the rear angles

.... Also the front angles (like the one pictured) the car looks tacky and wierd

....IDK why but with the new options the front look more aggressive and much more custom too..

I'm thinking of the polished lip and center cap, black spokes on the TTII (or new wheels altogether). TTII aren't for the lazy man.

very true... And these wheels are Cray Mantas... they only make wheels for C4-C6 vettes from what I heard(unlike my old Ruffs that needed rings so it wouldn't vibrate at high speeds, which still did,) the fit and finish is real good... not iForged, Fikse, or CCW quality but for $1200 I can live with that
