My painted torque stars have taken quite the beating and the clear coat is all shot etc. etc. I've been contemplating repainting them. I've thought about white and I came across this pic. What do you all think should I go for white or stick with the silver?

White.
And I don't think a polished lip will be an issue on white wheels.
The main purpose of having a polished lip on black wheels is to show some separation between the wheel and the tire. I don't think you'll have that issue if you go with white.
