Very nice paint job. If I may ask did the wheels were black and you just painted the lip blue. Or you painted the wheels black and the lips blue

Hard to tell it looks all black from the picture, maybe should have done it the other way around with black on the outside and blue on the inside main part of the wheel, i would paint the center hubs blue as well to break up the dark colors.

I like it but i think it would look even better if the whole lip was blue and not just the outside.
