by "trim" do you mean the lip around the cover? And are these the covers you have?

Paint the entire cover white (mask off the toyota symbol as to not paint it) paint with a 3/4" black lip. Paint the center chrome yota black. Make sure to sand and prep before painting

im really excited for it, i think that the contrast will look nice, and the reason i went with the black was so that it would blend with the ugly steel wheels better
