Icon2 ls mesh rims look here!

well i bought a set of ls mesh for 200 bucks, 3 of them are painted black with silver lip, one is removed because it was coming off. should i spend money on paint remover and get rid of the black paint? or just buy black paint and paint the last rim? what do you guys think? do you think black with silver lip is sick? or not?

Eh, not really a fan of black wheels. But you should just strip the paint and polish them. That's what I'm going to do with my LS Mesh.

Mine were really messed up, they were black. So I used aircraft remover, stripped them and painted them charocal with a polished lip. Look sick

I wanted to do them all polished, but this is different. (Don't mind the back raised, this is when I was lowering my car one part at a time ha)

if you could find the same paint then paint the last one black with pollished lip, but it might be hard to match the paint, u might be better off stripping all the paint then repainting them all at once

Default I agree with polished

I mean if your going to go black with a lip, or any colour, you mine as well just go and buy a set of Rotas or something that comes like the rim you want. OEM goodness FTW!

He just wants a color preference between the two, regardless of what car
