If I were you, which I'm not, I would paint the ENTIRE rim flat black, or even Polish the entire rim. Those are the two only ways i think Slipstreams look good. Anything else makes them look too cheap, but thats just IMHO.

Was it professionally done or did you do it yourself? If professionally, how much did it cost?

Personally i think the Flat Black with the red anodized lip looks sick.. never seen it done b4. Only wheel i know like that is the Auto X. Slips would be off the chain..
