Default Wheel question/option
Figured out what I want for my wheels...Method Race Wheels, street locks 17x8.5

Now, should I get the all black, or the black with machined lip on it??

I know my wheels are going to get banged up in the rocks, that's a no brainer.

Should I go with black lip on it so I can just rattle can the blemishes, or go with the machined lip so theres no powder coating to get chipped off? Will the machined edge look like crap and not able to be "touched up"?

Here are my Methods. The Duratrac tire provide a good lip for protection for day to day stuff.

Have you looked at the Method Fat Five wheels? I have been trying to decide on those vs these you are asking about.

No offense taken... Everyone has different tastes! I like too many to choose from. Good problem to have I guess...
