Well there was no way to get the chrome lip "rechromed" because there is nowhere in Calgary that does it, and it would have cost a lot more money. I have seen other rims that are completely black with the black lip and they looked really good. It is really hard to tell what they will look like on the car until they are actually ON the car......so everyone, including myself is going to have to wait about 3 to 4 months until I will have them on the car.

I Think the lip before looked beautiful. But for a repair (you didn't show how bad the damage was so I cant tell) its a very good job. What kind of rims are those?

Rennen RC2. I did not want to take any pics of the damage before because it would make people cry. LOL It is better that nobody else sees it....better for everyone.

They look good, but I really liked the chrome lip better, you might have even been able to have a body shop reclear them and make them even more glossy than they were when new. New look isn't bad, but the polished lip really makes the look alot more aggressive. Not bad either way.
