I would say with a polished lip, all black is just to dull.

Solid Black. Much cleaner and easier to maintain. Plus everyone has the lip.

I would say polished lip. It gives it a little more contrast and helps them to stand out better ( if you keep them polished ).

Yes we all have our own taste and opinions and thats why we share them, but to me all black just doesn't add character to the wheel or car.

All black tends to detract from any flash/bling a car has. Gives it a race car/get the hell out of my way look.

For black cars it's almost always better to go with a polished lip, to give the car contrast. For other color cars such as silver or SOM, you can get away with all black rims. Also depending on what kind of car you have, can you go with all black rims, such as the vette. For the camaro, either you love it or you hate it. And for polished lip, you definately can't go wrong. But ultimately, you should do what your heart desires. good luck
