Anyone two tone there rims?
 
Insurance recently replaced all 4 stock 19" rays on my Z and allowed me to keep the ones they replaced. I have a BS Z and am gonna powder coat them a dark gun metal color like the GTR wheels. I really like the polished lip look of rims. So my question is has anybody had the lip area ( not sure if you can call that a lip on our stockers) painted a separate color from the forks of the rim? Any pictures would be awesome and just opinions of whether you guys think that would look good or is it better to just go for all one color
Thanks

I don't like painted OEM wheels... the 40th editions are the only exception, IMO.

This might give you a couple of ideas! :driving:

There was someone on here who painted their inner spokes yellow and the outside Silver or Black. I cannot remember. It has been done...I guess it is ECON (??).

As for the lip, here is one approach:

I know it's been done a lot but I really like the pin striped lip. It really ties everything together.

I want to do that too, but I just can't figure out what color to do for the pinstripe :icon17:

Pretty sure that just made up my mind. Pinstripe looks good. Thanks for the input guys, huge help.
