I think the center in a gloss black with the lips polished would look nice.

I also have a set of SP16a wheels, I am selling them now but I planned to keep them and I was going to have them painted with the factory Z06 wheel color.
BTW, I would have them painted not powder coated, you cannot get as nice a finish with powder coating and it cannot be touched up.

What do you want for them? they arent painted or PC'd are they?
I am about to order some SP16 19" ft and rr, but if the price is right I can live with 18/19 combo.

Gold CCW classics would look badass. I love the look of gold wheels on black and very few people do it.

I like polished wheels on a black car, why not leave them as is? So many people are coloring their wheels that polished will look unique. I've got polished Classics on my red Z and they always attract attention.
