    About to have my RC090s redone, color combo advice? COMPLETED!

    Quick background. My wheels are BBS RC090 and they currently have polished lips, gold faces, and gold bolts (Im assuming the faces and bolts are rattle can'd gold). I am installing an M Tech II kit soon here and while I get everything in order for that project, I wanted to have my wheels refinished. I wanted to hear some advice on color combos I have in the back of my mind. I was thinking:
    A. White lips, satin black faces, gold bolts (with black and gold BBS logo on cap)
    B. Polished lips, white faces, black bolts
    C. Polished lips, silver faces, black bolts
    D. Redo them how they are now
    E... Recommendations?
    The car is AWII now, it might be repainted to something "whiter" in the future, but the car will remain white. I cant make my mind up. I like option A, but I dont know if the painted lips would look cheesy. Any advice is appreciated! Also, if anyone can tell me the best way to have them refinished, like painting or powder coating thatd be great. I picked up some 15 inch racing dynamics for cheap to roll around on while the wheels undergo the transformation also.
    Before: Only decent pic of my car and the wheels is below:



    ALL DONE: Better shade of gold/bronze for the center, black bolts instead of the gold bolts, and re-polished lips!

        I vote polished lips, gold bolt and polished hex cover, and satin black centers

        If your interested in refinishing your bolts, i can have my buddie gold plate them for $170 ($1.25 a bolt) or chrome/nickel/copper finish for $102 ($0.75 a bolt) if you strip the paint off them.

        Here is the nickel i had done

            I have not done any in gold yet. I'm waiting on a customer who wants me to make them a madona set.

              Thanks for the opinions, and wow those bolts look great. I'll keep you in mind when I get everything disassembled and ready to go out. Hoping to do something with the wheels that's less common ideally.

                  Ya... not a fan of the lakers haha.

                  Anyway, got the wheels off and the Racing Dynamics installed (15x7 et 13 wrapped in BF Goodrich 225 50 r15s), tires are being dismounted from the style 5's tomorrow. Any more suggestions or opinions?

                        Yeah, whatever you do, I vote keep polished lips. They're so much classier.

                          Nothing but polished lips.

                          For faces I would say gold, silver or nogaro.
                          For bolts gold or silver.
