    LTWs with black centers? Pic Request

    Hey Guys,

    Anyone have a pic of LTW wheels (Style 24s) with black faces and polished lips?

    I have a spare set that are going on my wife's countryman for winter...and she wants them all black. I want to do polished lips...

    any pics?

    Thanks!

    Hmmm, not a fan. All black or no black I think.

    Thanks!!

    Her's is silver....here it is on last years winter setup. Had a bit too much rub when loaded and found a steal on 17's. (Going from 235/50/18 to 235/45/17 lol).
    I'm not sure about the black now...I really wish I could just refinish them to OEM...but she likes black (I kinda hate black lol).

    If she's just going to run them for winters maybe plastidip matte black? That way they're easier to put back to stock? I just finished removing two coats of gloss black from a set of RC's I picked-up and striping them was brutal. I prefer the silver although with those fender flares the black looks decent.

    I got some LTWs recently that were originally polished and had the centers painted black at some point. I will see if I have any pics of them before I spent hours and hours making them look normal again lol
