Default Need some opinions - New wheels

So, i bought these wheels in a silver color, and was originally thinking of powdercoating them black to match my blacked out Z. I came upon a company that does "hydro dipping" and decided to try them out. I got these 20" rims dipped in a black carbon fiber pattern. These are preliminary shots as they still need to be clear coated, but please let me know what you guys think. . . . Thanks!

I'm not a fan of faux CF, but that looks great.

I think the cf look has kind of run its course. But if you are doing it, kenchan has the right idea, go with the polished lip!
