Fat red lips...
Ok.. I just got some new wheels with some fat lips....
I'm rocking a VR, and have been a fan of wheels with red lips for a long time. I kinda want to color-match them to the car. The problem is, I don't know how well, a red car would look with color matched lips. If my car were white or black, I'd do it no question.
What do you guys think?

I wouldnt do it, to me all of these new fads are exactly that.... just a fad. It will be played out to death and will just look silly a lil while down the road.
Keep it simple, IMHO nothing is as timeless and classy as a nice set of silver wheels.

Well I've always liked that style... back in 98 I was rockin some black wheels with red lips. It's just now, the wheels I have, have a huge lip, so I'd like to see what they would look like red.

Ha... I'm not so worried about it anymore... well kinda. I got bored the other night, put them on, and went around the block. It's rubbing a little, and when I took the wheels off I saw a clean spot on my springs.... so the tires are also touching the springs.
I gotta figure out how I'm gonna get these wheels to fit, or I need to sell them.
