the problem with doing a rim that is coated now (even with a polished lip) is that afetr the prep process, the once polished lip is either blasted, discolored from the burn off process or in dire need of serious help to retain the shine. When coated from the wheel manufacture, the rim has the luxury of not having to be aggresively stripped in order to get the effect.

so, with that said, it will come down to what the rim looks like and constructed as to wether or not a polished lip could be incorperated. i do many vehicle rims, but I shy away from the ones that they want super fancy based 110% on the fact that its not an item that bodes well to being stripped repeatedly.

id like the outlip sto stay polishd and the center darker, but from what you had posted i thought the process to strip the center would possible ruin the finish on the lip
