Sorry for offtopic, but your car looks great! What are the sizes of your wheels? 19x8.5 and 19x9.5? Offsets? Are you on a 4MATIC?

I don't think I would change them up. They flow really well with the rest of the car.

Paint chipping on the lips? Just do gloss black lips with flat centers.

Looks great now! But if you were to change it, gloss black lips and flat black face is the only other way I'd go.

I would recommend to paint the wheels and bake the clear, it's better, and safer on cast wheels. If you really want to powder coat them, use a low temp powder.
