Black lip or black rims with chrome lip?

I had my all chrome 22s on my black S550 for a few months now and am starting to get bored of how it looks now. Now i am thinking of getting my rim or lip powder coated black. I cant decide to get the rim or lip to get powder coat. I had seen plenty of benz with black rim's with the chrome lip but had seen none with the black lip. Does anyone have any pics of S550 with the black lip?

I think the black lip would definately be different. Maybe even a black lip with the out edge still chrome. Powder-coater would have to do a good job masking but would look killer IMO

wont the black lip blend the rim with black rubber making the rim look 1" smaller.

I think black rims with chrome or colored lip (other than black)
