Holy 4x4...

I tried gloss black + chrome lip in the summer. Looked like ass especially since I wasn't lowered.

Your attempt isn't bad though.

I wouldn't bother. Just paint them black and slap the hub caps on.

doesn't look bad, I think if you had a drop it would look much better. props for keeping the lip crome. I've never actually seen that done with stock steelies.

Dosent look bad, but that "polished lip" is just bare steel right? That will rust very quick I would think.

I rattle canned mine flat white lol. Didn't look bad but there some rust starting to peak through now since I did it quick (it was cold outside lol)..

(don't mind the dirty car, impossible to keep clean on salty roads)

You do know they make chrome rings that snap onto the rim, right...?

That looks terrible... leave them as is, or better yet put on some clean hub caps.
