I would do polished lip with black inside / spokes. I LOVE that look on a black truck. Add Lowered and De badged, and makes them look sinister.

That's ESV is tight, but me I love black, my vote would be the black lip on those wheels. But which ever one they both are nice. This is mine with 22's.

Thanks for all the input guys,
I was already leaning towards the polished lip, but wanted some other inputs. I think i will go with the polished lip in order to even out all the black.
One thing I do like about the black is it gives the appearance of more tire sidewall, but I don't want it to be to much black for me. Ill get some before/after pics up when I get some stuff complete.

Polished. Then when they start to go south you can get them painted black. Doesn't work the other way around ;).

I was also looking at the Calisix or the Figi wheels. You think I should stay with the Thottle wheels?

I think black wkeels and lips look good.... but u lose that distinction between wheel and tire.... light colored or polished wheels or lips will show u tgat fine line between rims and rubber band tires...... They also will accent depth...


I vote Polished
