It would really cool if you could paint the lip as a color match to the car...

they will be painted same color as the car, there is a place around here that if you give them your paint code then can put it in an air can.

but here are some actual pics of my car:

honest it is hard to do something out of the norm these days ,everything has been done,i think all black c6 zr1s would look good on your car,but when i had black wheels got tired of them fast,i would go oem c6 zo6s ,the 19x12 rear would look killer on your car ,

2002 Trans Am WS6 Speedline wheels powder coated black and red using OEM paint code. The spokes had to be taped off by hand because there is no hard stop between the lip and the spokes. 5 spokes times four wheels, a lot of taping, which drove the price up, but they all look good. The car is very dirty in this pic, but when its clean, the rims are a perfect match.
