I think I'm narrowing it down to Hyper Gun Metal, or the Nickel type finish. Keep it up guys!

FM5...FM10... either way they all gravy in my book

With either of those 2 colors, I bet a matte finish would look best.

I voted to keep them as is. However there used to be a guy on this board who had a C5 with semi-gloss black centers with a polished lip and it looked awesome.

Me too. It's really a win-win, all of your choices will look badass. IMO I wouldn't PC them black though.

I like the black center look.

Had three sets of wheels that way and they were the easiest to maintain and got nothing but compliments where ever I parked or drove my car.

You think it's funny but I think a red center with a black lip would turn out a little better than you think. It's a tough call but it might not be a bad idea just to kick around. Otherwise I say black centers chrome lip, just make sure the calipers are painted red to offset the color a little bit.

Definitely not painting the calipers red, waay to many people do that. I have a good idea for them
