The lip is machined. I like the look of the chrome but I didnt want the hassle of cleaning them all the time and I have had a couple sets of chrome wheels that started flaking and chipping after a couple years.

maybe I will try a polished wheel...I have seen some nice ones that have been painted silver too. Has anyone tried any of the Micket Thompson seris wheels?

Thanks guys.
Here is one with motometal chrome.

I'm suprised how good the black and blue looks,
the only rims I can find for the 7 lug are black or chrome, I was going to buy black rims and have them powder coated silver, but would rather have polished
Basically going for a almost stock looking (factory) aluminum rim , still dont get the 7 lug concept
