Konig Heliums w/ polished lips

some SUVhole changed lanes on me and I ground 2 of my wheels up on the curb. I have the silver Heliums now and I need to buy 2 more. I like Heliums; they're light, cheap, and simple... I don't care if they're "played"

JLB has "limited edition" Heluims with polished lips (black centers).
Buy Konig Rims, Konig Helium rims, Muteki Lug Nuts: JLB Motorsports
So, for $200 I can replace my 2 busted wheels, or for $400, I can get 4 new wheels with the polished lips.

The picture on their website is pretty small... hard to tell much and I've never seen these in person. Heliums don't have much lip anyway.
Anyone have these? Any opinions?

thanks

someone on here i think has them.

they will look 1 size smaller since they have that lip keep in mind.

no way. im a huge fan of 15's man.

i actually want 16's.

but really though, some lips makes the wheels look smaller.

keep in mind that is a machined lip, there is a big difference in machined and polished.

it would be a relatively easy task to polish the machined lip, right?

I think i've decided against them anyway... i don't like the black centers... i've had 4 silver cars in a row, all with silver wheels... maybe i'm boring

could a wheel shop machine and polish the lip on my plain silver wheels... or am i asking for trouble?
if so, about what would it cost? more than the cheap wheels?
