Need opinions for repainting deep dish Iforged rims.
Hey guys. The four rims I just bought locally have pitted lips. So they have to go in to be re-machined. While thats getting done, I was also thinking about getting them custom painted. They have the machined lip, and an anthracite spoke finish. Here they are currently
   I was thinking of silver pinstriping, such as this. It can be in a variety of colors. perhaps the same color as my car? or perhaps like this  Like I say its just a random idea.... any suggestions?

im not a fan of black and chrome lips. i would say get super sliver center with brushed or machined lip.
IMO the black just doesnt go with your beige soft top |

save up for a brush face and high polish lip would make the rims look a lot more expensive. Classy is the way to go.

^ Yeah thanks. It turns out the "machined lip" is actually known as "Japanese anodized". So when its repolished it'll turn out almost chrome like. Interesting, I had no idea, The Japanese Anodizing finish is almost like a plastic (like) coating to a lightly machined lip it seems... interesting.

By Super silver "center" do you mean just repainting the whole spoke silver? Or just the sides of each spoke? thats kind of what I was after, but I'm having a hard time finding pics, I have a few magazine articles, but nothing online. Thanks for the suggestions everybody, much appreciated.

, I would go with a brushed or silver finish to compliment the tan top
