    About to order methods in 18” I’ve decided on the machined finish but can’t decided if I want to go with the black lip or leave it machined.

    I have a glossy black lip on my wheels and I like it when the wheels are new. When they start to age and fade, the black lip really stands out and its not a nice contrast. Makes the tires look worse. I say no black lip, unless its matte.

    Black just makes any truck look cheap. Machined is the way to go, IMO.

    315s get my vote. The 315s look high end compared to the 305s.

    My buddy pur gold 315s on his blue Taco, and it looks really good.

    IMG_0701.jpg Thanks for all the input. Ended up with the black lip pretty happy with it so far.
