Re-lipping my wheels. Faces are chrome, so the obvious choice is chrome lips. However in the future is the faces get re-done to not chrome, I feel chrome lips would look weird.

Anybody running chrome faces with polished lips? For what its worth, its a set of vs-kf's. And IF youre running "aftermarket" lips, what brand are they? I see wheelflip offers chrome and polished, however it seems most "aftermarket" lips are not clear coated polished and get hazy easy.

Here are a some I did with chrome faces and polished lips. Lips are easily obtainable and come raw polish. They can be clear coated. *Not an advertisement, please don't ban me*

I ended up going with polished lips after finding a handful of wheels like that.

Now I need to source the white/silver kf center caps, or buy black and gold vs ones.
