Default .NEED YOUR VOTE!!! Which way should I powder coat speedlines for my SOM WS6???

.I have a set of Speedline WS6 wheels that are in need of refinishing....so I figured that I would have them blasted and then powder coated black. Which way should i go???

1) WHOLE RIM IN BLACK
2) BLACK WITH POLISHED LIP
3) ONLY THE "SPOKE" PORTION BLACK, EVERYTHING ELSE POLISHED
4) BLACK WITH SOM COLORED LIP
5) SOM WITH BLACK LIP

Here are some examples of 1,2,3....






Here is my car for reference:




I'm kinda leaning toward black with polished lip cause thats how the ceta rims are and I have other ceta mods done (rear bumper, sail panel) so it kinda fits the theme I have going btu I do want some feedback!!! The others are tempting too...

Took me a little bit, since your car looks familiar, but I remember you back from IL . Good to see you never sold the Firebird Brandon.

For that style of wheel I would just go all black. Maybe black with the orange lip. I only like the polished lip on higher end wheels that actually have a lip.

I don't think i'll ever sell it lol.

I'm really 50/50 on the all black or polished lip. But tomorrow I may change my mind lol. I found some rear fill ins I like and might buy and if I do they would match the polished lip Idea

I like the all black look best. Great choice! What about adding a SOM stripe around the rim? It would give you a custom touch, be a little different. Just a thought. Maybe some Blackbird stripes on the hood would tie in nicely.

definetly go all black with possibly a som pinstripe around the lip. I think that would look pretty sweet.
