Color matched lip???
I will be in the market for some new rims within the next month or so. I see the new trend in rims is to have black centers and car colored matching lips. I like the look on the e46 m3 but not too sure about my car(silverstone)m5. How do you feel about them and if you have done it can I see pics? Thanksl

Not feeling the body colored matching lip on a silverstone...on a silverstone you can go with gun metal or black centers to get an aggressive look or blacked out for a super aggressive look and polished centers for a clean look...i would stick with polished lip...g/l

I was thinking it wouldn't look good on my car, but all the rims that I like i've seen too many times. I just want something that I will not see at the next stop light.

Hehe nope. I live about 40 miles out east from Hempstead. I saw 2 silver M5s since I got the car, though. One of whom actually flashed his blinkers at me and gave me a thumbs up
