Ok so heres the thing I just got a new pair of rota slips, because i was tired of looking at my chipping stock R rims cause the guy befor me that owned it was a dumb ass. Anyways good news they are already off the car and sand blasted
but my next problem is i know iam gonna re-spray them back to champ white but i wanna also paint the lip red. Its not too big and i think it will look just right. I wanna know what other people think because one its a show car and two i can never make up my mind. I was wondering too if this has been done?

Red lip has been popular the past few years. Volk released a Black with red lip Time Attack series about three years ago that rippled through Gram Light/Konig/Rota wheels. About a year ago, their Honda Series of white with Red Lip rippled through the product market. I hope this answer's your question or whether or not it has been done before.

Highly questionable. The lip is so small and it's likely to get worked over when they mount the tires. I think I'd skip it and just go straight white. Then again you could always paint it with an acrylic at home to test it out.
