I thought you ordered your wheels in silver already?

I know you just want to make sure you make the right decision but you're going to get hundreds of different opinions from the hundreds of people replying. Ultimately, it depends if you like it. If I don't like black on your monaco blue car, it doesn't make me right. To put it another way, even if the majority of us say get silver and once it's on your car someone walks by and say you should have gotten high polish or whatever, are you gonna go change it? It's all a matter of taste, just be confidence in yours. I'm sure whatever you choose will be beautiful.

I'm not trying to criticize your efforts. I only mean to say that there's no right or wrong decision here.

Good luck and post pics when you're done!

thanks eurocarfan i know,

the problem is that silver is on bakcorder so im getting an insane deal on some finished blemished black wheels that will fit my car but at a great discount so all in all i will have to get them painted silver or refinished, so thats why i contemplated the idea of going brushed center with chrome lip or painted blue like my car with a chrome lip, i dont feel it but then again i havent seen it in any of our cars that the issue.

my choice of wheels is made no matter what it will be those, just trying to finish them in the best possible finish i can get
