Default Does it exist?

I have been searching for a while now trying to find a 15" 4x100 that has a titanium lip. Does anyone know if any company makes a wheel that size with a titanium lip? My ultimate goal is to find one that is white with a titanium lip, but i can always have it painted.

An actual, real, Ti lip, or simply colored as if it were heat discolored Ti?

Try asking in the paint and body forum. I'm sure some of the better / more experienced painters would know how to reproduce the "neo chrome" look, so you could have it done to any wheel you like.

But, if you want to buy them already looking like that, it looks like you'll have to step up to the ricer 17" size for the "fake Ti" lips. At least, that's what my searching around the net has found.

Or get a set of 3 piece 15" centers and have someone custom make the barrels out of Ti.

Neo-chrome is a COATING on stainless steel NOT a "titanium" lip

Its ghey IMO....seriously you want rainbow colored lips on your wheels? Think about that for a sec...

But I guess for the hardparking, "you aint up on this" crowd its another way to one up the other hardparker who already has a mint carbon splitter that will never see an actual track.

Im sure you can just buy a stainless lip 3 piece 15" wheel and send the barrel to be "coated" with neo-chrome if you MUST have the rainbow.

Best of luck

Hard parking ey? I guess if i was pushing 280hp i'd be "hard parking" my car too. I have a mint midori ek fully built and sleeved and i think that white rims with that kind of lip and matching lugs would set it off with some meaty tires. Im glad we can have our own opinion cause apparently if we didnt, we would all be rolling around in semi stock honda's ect. I appreciate the advice though on how to get my "MUST" have rainbow look.

i have been looking for a place to refinish stuff in this color and i never had luck. i was referring to it as burnt titanium. i know rays offered some wheels in that finish but not sure on the diameters.
