Check the Tire/wheel forum, there are a couple of pics of the BBS LM wheels you are looking into.

Hmmm, I thought about possibly painting my wheels in a graphite color or possibly a different shade of gray, lighter than my color. Don't know how that would look though.
Hani, Is your car Seal?

What about doing the centers in Seal to match with the lips polished? I think that would look really nice.

2 votes for seal
If you do, let me know the shop thats doing yours and maybe I can send mine there too so we get a discount...
IMHO black would not contrast too much from the rather dark seal grey so defeats the purpose...

Dont paint the lip!!! whole point of HREs...if your gonna paint it lets trade wheels as lip size wont show as much
I might have someone locally do it....HRE is not cheap especially for us east coasters due to the shipping charge both ways...

I like powdercoated better than painted... Have you looked at the new HRE c series.

Hani, you HAVE to post pics of your 360 spider, if you need help posting, email me them at jmehrabani@aol.com.

I heard that painted ones can peel off after a while, so powdercoated would be better. also dont do the lip, so it can looks Hot!

Powdercoating from what I hear is the way to go.
