Need some opinions on my wheels Update!! W/ Pics
So I just bought some rims last week and when they come in I’m going to get them power coated, here are the rims i bought.
I was first wondering if I should keep the lip shiny or power coat the whole wheel. I like the ones look on the 350Z's that have the inside coated and the lip shiny
Then once I know what I want to do there I need a good color for the part I powder coat. I was thinking either black or some dark grey, possibly gunmetal like the stockers
I got these for performance for the most part, I want to put some 245's on them since the are 8" wide, if they fit. My car is red thanks for the help.

Nice wheels!!!!
Gunmetal/black with lip is so played out. I'd leave them as is for a bit and see how you like them, then get it done if you still want it. If so, then gunmetal with nice shiny lip

If you want a one of a kind looking car keep the outer rim area the same and powder coat the rest Chevy emblem gold. Leave nuts stock. Against Victory Red that would be sweet.
