white lip is fine. but powder is not.

gloss white is better. it will look fine on a white car. but not any other color.

i didnt realize ls460s and es350s were rice.

i just think the whole black wheels on white cars is played out. we'll see. maybe ill roll with them as they are first, then i can always paint them down the line.
