So paint them black

As for the rims, I think it will look good either way, preference i guess. Find out how much it would be, a local powdercoating shop here quoted me $10 bux a wheel.

I think the wheels would look pretty cool with a small red lip but dont paint ur calipers red.

Heres a pic of my bike wheel with a red lip

my old car with red lip, your car would look better with a red lip cause ur car is red plus i think it would look diff on slipstreams

polishing a lip aint fixing anything... just enhancing the appearance a bit, giving it a little trim... how would i go about doing this process though? polishing it i could do easy with sand paper, etc... but how do you make it red
