polished lip.

i think you should do 99-00 Si centercaps, if they'll fit. It'll go good with the polished lip.

+1 on the Si center caps. If they fit they will make those wheels pop.

I like the white, but that would look terrible on a silver car. Def think gunmetal or black would be the way to go with a polished lip on silver.
