Sitting thinking about it tonight i think im gona go for the low maintenance and easy option of just geting the wheels powdercoated original silver, lip included
If i dont like it can always then go and get it diamond cut, see how it goes
Will be making a start at the weekend

fair enough, i'd highly recommend a polished lip though!!!
They're a real b***h for corroding!!

Polished looks so much nicer...true to say its highish maintenance, but totally worth every bit of it when you see the reflection on other cars and windows

I think the whole wheel painted will look good, at the end of the day everybody has a polished lip so no basis for comparrison
Will see how i get on tonight, ill split a wheel and get to it

My old RXIIs were painted all round, and i wish they were polished.
Totally up to you tho mate, nicely refurbed RXIIs will look good regardless!
