id say you get them full black, i dont think the polished lip looks good on red cars IMO. good find for 50 bucks though :thumbup: what kind of tires are you thinking of putting on them? id say you get azenis'. what size rims are they?

they're 15"x7" Prime wheels....aluminum....they're pretty light for what i payed...i dunno how long i'll have them...but if they look good when they're done i'll prolly keep them for a while....we'll see....as for tires...not exactly sure yet...possibly yokahoma's, i don't really have alot of money to spend on tires, but i want somethin decent....any suggestions for me?

Falken Azenis(sp?) are very sticky and are awsome for summing driving, they are going to be my new set soon....

I like the look of gloss black with polished lip on red cars, I got a neighbor with a red golf and has the black with polished lip in a similar spoke pattern. Looks

If you leave the center caps off, they almost look like slipstreams. h:
