id say no to the blue its tacky imo.

your rims dont need to match your engine bay thats like saying your boxers have to match your shoes LOL

what about black and have that lip you painted blue, polished or a brushed aluminum look

or do the whole thing bronze. bronze looks nice on black
 
Bronze-###. Polished Lip-Even gayer since everyone and their mother and their goofy brother driving a honda do it. Im partial to black rims with the thin red line lip that you see on Rota's a lot. I think that Blue lip looks alright. A little darker would be nice as well as keeping the paint off the tires.
 
I really like the black wit the blue lip, in fact, its exactly what i'm going to do to mine! but i would also say go wit a darker blue, i think that would look even better.
 
I think I'm going with black and a darker blue lip. If any one else got any ideas let me know. I don't like the bronze ### everyone has them same with black and chrome lip

And yes blackgst my boxers and shoes match ha.
 
I think a skinnier blue lip would look better. That lip is way to thick for my taste. Just paint maybe a small blue line around the rims lip.
 
Personally think a polished gunmetal or a darker flat bronze looks the best on a black DSM. Trying to decide between these two for mine.
