1LS Rim Lip Modifications

So in the process of purchasing a 1LS in Victory Red. It comes with the black steel wheels with the silver 2piece lip cap.

Has anyone painted that to match the car or modified that in any specific way?

I actually like the black steel look, just wondering what it would look like with different color lips. Not sure if Red is the way to go but maybe black or something.

If I just paint it black I'll probably do it myself, the victory red I'll take to a body shop to have them throw a coat on.

I've seen the lip painted synergy green to match the camaro it was on, looked good. in my opinion victory red lip with the black center will look great.

Cool, I'm curious to see some like that.

Could be a cool low dollar upgrade.

I've seen them painted both black and red on other threads here, but some months ago and I don't have them bookmarked. Search doesn't always work well but it might be worth a try. I think both looked good

Well I ended up going with a Black Camaro so if I paint them I will be going black... but honestly they are so cheap and crappy I don't think I can keep them on the car.
