I'm not a fan of the solid black - looks too much like a truck tire and wheel combination to me. I think it needs the lip.

Now that I look at it I already have blocky tread so it looks like I have a mud tire + wheel solid black but then with the lip silver it makes it look like a smaller rim... I dont know if I want to paint them or not.

i say don't do it.. i like the color of your rims now, since you have the white stripes.

plus that red lip looks really ricer

I dunno avalanch3, I think if done right the color matched lip looks amazing. Irony is working against me on this one, cause you mentioned it looked ricer and i found a similar scheme on a supra. If i had a red car, I would do this so fast.
