Ya I guess this is more like a slow project for me. I think that it will look better with the added lip size front and rear wheels and the brushed look will look better than the chrome. I myself am not a fan of chrome faced wheels so I already knew what I was going to do when I decided on getting these. Thanks for all your guys inputs. Keep them comin.

If you decide to upgrade your lips, I will buy the two rear ones from you.

not sure what your car color is, but these would look if the centers were painted with a Flat or Satin paint and the lips were a gloss...

ya you know, I know it's an old style 5 spoke and it to me it looks like any other chrome 20's you would put on a Malibu or Chrysler so with me doin the brushed look on it it will stand out and look better than it is all chrome. I myself can't wait to see the outcome on how it is going to look after I dechrome and get it blasted. Will certainly keep you guys posted.
