I bought this car with these 8 spoke empi wheels . They had a bad black paint job over red that did not cover well. I just stripped off the 2 w layers of paint. I was planning on repainting them black but the polished looks pretty good. Now I can't decide so I would like some input.
Which looks better to you guys? Attached thumbnail(s)

Do it the same for 2 wheels as mentioned above. Drive it for a bit & see what you like better. Stick with the black with polished lips on one side. Straight polished on the other. When you decide which you like better. Paint the side that lost body color & do the same thing. Wait to see which you like better. Then you definately end up with what you like best (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
