I'd seen black cars dropped/slammed with aggressive offset white colored rims and it looked sweet but I'm unsure of white lip/black faced rims. At the end of the day, like everyone else here said, do whatever floats ur boat.

I'm not sure how this would look. I'm not liking the idea, but it'll be different. Just think about all the brake dust on white lips.

I agree. I would do this first and then go from there.

^^ im gonna have to agree with this.

*not aimed toward the OP, but to the replys*
Everyone is saying 'just do what you like' BUT~ the truth is... some people just have no taste/common sense so when they 'just do what you like' it sometimes ends up one big fail. Look how many people come here doing mods first before they join CL then they post their car and~ well~ it doesn't look so nice... all this is because they 'just do what you like'.

the griil would make it look kinda gangsta. If you black out the whole car and then do some details, maybe the L logo front and back, and small things you can pull it off. but all the things you metioned would make the car look really cheap

I think it would look cheap and ugly. There are other things you can do to stand out.

Hmmm... sounds unique. I say go for it... it'll definitely look like Tron or Sci-Fi.
