Powdercoating my stock wheels

I've almost set my mind on the powdercoat.. Going with Matte Black + Gunmetal lip.. Would just like to hear your opinions on it

PS my car is an Amethyst Graphite

I think that'll look good. The stock rims dont really have a lip, how are you going to do that?

I hear ya. I'm sure eventually you'll cave and jump on it!

I am trying to picture the color scheme of the rims in my head..not working out?? I can't imagine it with a lip... I seen some all gunmetal color though, i think that looks good.
