Is it possible to change the lips on these wheels to black,leaving the spokes aluminum, in one of these pics?I saw some wheels in a catalog today that got me thinking again

I agree, With a black lip it will blend in with the tires.

Yea,that's pretty common to do.This was very different and actually looked really good!

At least in the pictures it did.It was thought provoking.

Blending in with the tires was the actual point of it,just the spokes ......
