I cant decide. My vote goes to "Maybe" haha sorry for being no help at all...

I think it would look good in both colors

but with the polished lip, it adds a little shine to your theme.

you are going to want to do it but then after a while when it is done, ur gona hate a black lip. If u want to spend money doing that stuff then just sell your wheels and then get new ones. Or go with an all black look. My wheels are for sale as well, but now the centers are powder coated black. But dang my wheels look nice before i got the centers painted

I wouldn't go for the black lip - it makes the wheels look smaller and ends-up
looking like every other Tenzo copy wheel on the market.
Definitely a "motorsports" look.

You might be able to pull it off with a silver pinstripe at the edge of the
lip to separate the tire & wheel visually.

Throw some spacers on there while you're at it. Are those stock offsets?
