Default SSR MS1 black with machine lip

So I have these rims 17s on my black s2 and they are black as well... they came with the car and I'm starting to not like the look of the machine lip would it be a good idea or even look nice to powder coat them machine lip and whole as one color?

Yes this is common. Depending on the color it would look good.

All black loses so much of the detail in the wheel. All white could look good.

Its fine to have other colors on all black. Contrast is good.

That does look nice. I agree all black is not great looking at times. Contrasting colors help.

Well if they are multipiece you will be taking them apart to paint or powdercoat them. That also means you may need new hardware and seals for the wheel. Paint won't be as durable as powdercoat but it is cheaper and easier. I won't tell you which way you should do it. Its your car figure out which look you like more get some quotes for having them powder coated or painted and decide.
