Default Pic Request - CUPII's black/polished lip on Black/Black Coupe

I've been reading about how some members liking the CUP II's with black spokes and polished lips. It's sort of a Fuchs look. I've seen a few pictures but never on a Black on Black coupe. Does anyone have any pictures they could share? Anodized lilps instead of polished might look good as well and more closely match the "Carrera 4" badging. This would be one upgrade I'd consider doing.

here is mine from several years ago. I kinda liked it but there are a couple problems; 1) they don't polish like the Fuchs(that is, not as shiny) because these are cast wheels and 2) you need to clear coat the lips or they will require regular polishing to look nice.

I think these are close to what the OP described.

Its a good look. The pic of the wheels off the car with the flat paint and lips like the fuchs looks fantastic.. But the gloss paint maybe better on a black car. Hard decision.. Now I need to see both..

Thanks for the pics.

I am also in the process of doing my cup wheels. Hmm....I was thinking initially of all-black with a matt finish. Now I am thinking of the polished lip
