    the last photo with the highlight volkswagen and red lip looks awesome, makes the wheels look bigger too (even better if the tyres were blackened with the polish stuff). definitely go with that. you'll definitely get ppl asking where you got the wheels from. make sure its only a pinstripe as well otherwise wont have the same affect.

    Cheers,

    Rhys

    satin black i reckon. gloss looks bad cause it's all shiny and stufff, but flat looks dirty all the time, which will annoy you. satin is in the middle. its got more or a sheen than a shine, and looks good imo.

    I typically dont like black rims, mainly because , and especially from a distance, its difficult to distinguish between rim and tyre, and it gives the impression youve got one of those black painted steel spares, with a big gumball tyre.

    therefore, if you like the black, i suggest the red (or even silver?) lip gives a line of differentiation between rim and tyre

    (my 2 cents!!)
