what to do?
Should I polish the lips and paint my wheels black, or should I strip the paint off, polish the wheels and forget about the black?

IMO, black or graphite would look better with your car.
I think I'm gonna end up doing mine in graphite, but lots of people think that my maui blue car looks good with the gold laces.

How do you plan to take the black paint off without damaging the gold underneath?

gold laces is old school. they may match better but colorwise but i'm gonna agree with justin on this one.
