If possible, I would get the spokes alone painted black, and leave the lips in the OEM silver => gives some accent to the otherwise flush wheels. I don't know if everyone would like the look, but I feel its definitely much better than the plain looks of the OEM wheels.
I rehearsed that with plasti-dip before buying a set of Avant Garde Ruger Classics.
Here are a couple of pics I took after my "personalise with plastidip session"

I had lobster claws on my old Boxster S that were color matched to the factory seal grey paint. They looked amazing in the sunlight as the light really brought out the metallic flake. They were not just flat grey. I always got compliments on these wheels when Lobster Claws in silver seldom get any love. I have the Carrera Classics on my C2S, but I've been tempted to get another set of Lobster Claws to paint Meteor Grey, or to try and paint my current style wheels in a similar way.
Is the lip a contrasting colour or is that just the shadow?

A bit off topic.....but is that your AC unit outside the garage in front of your home? Seems like a very odd place to put an AC unit!! Just asking.

Thanks, if you are referring to the inner lip, that's just a shadow. The only color contrasting part was the outer lip in silver. I believe the face was painted and clear coated in the factory paint as it was an exact match.

Love the color. Like it in that combination. Thought about having mine done in black with the silver lip...but ended up getting a new set of aftermarket rims.
