Default Stripping/Painting my wheels

UPDATE AT THE BOTTOM!


I'm ordering a new set of wheels in a few weeks, so i decided to try and strip my wheels down to silver. Im pretty happy with how the first one is coming along, what do you guys think? Keep them silver, or go for full flat black?

I like em both. Black with the lip gives it a more aggressive appeal.
