im a huge fan of this look! I want some black spokes with red lips for my srt10 viper vert. Ive pondered options for my lt1 ws6 i think it would also need to be red and black. That CETA does look awesome too though! I love it. I think it looks best on vipers. Theres a pic of a red one on here some where that inspired me to do it to mine.

When I see that I always think of vettes. Although if you're going to do it on a bird, I'd only do it on "bright" colors.

How hard would it be to get the lip painted, if the lip on the rim was originally polished/silver?

first thing i thought when i saw those pics is "whitewalls"....only in different colors....especially the 3rd pic of the CETA

the anodizing definitely looks better than the painted ones, tho....only way to go, IMO
