that's true.. thanks guys... I will probably go with the first one... but still thinking what finish to go for... I really like the high polish finish... but I don't know, still debating either BA or the High.P.

the high polish finish is too flashy imo. I would go with the brushed aluminum being that its more subtle like the aluminum trim around your windows, but what ever finish you go with i dont think you could go wrong with those wheels

really? do you have any photos with a wheel with polish finish?
I rarely see it on photos, but I see it once in some magazine and I think it's only nice on either black or white cars. |

OK The brushed ally with the polished lip FTW...
Seriously the Chrome/polished wheels make em' look like Wal-Mart Specials.... Very cheap looking. BUT the Brushed with the polished lip is pretty cool... Be real careful with the alpine white, seems really easy to step over that line from Cool to Ghetto without a lot of effort.

yea I am trying really hard to be careful picking each step... that's why I have been choosing wheels for the last 4 weeks..lol
so probably I will round down to these three and pick either one... so I guess I should really go with the brushed and polish lips... |

I liked the red leather so I got it despite the cry's of the plebeian hordes demanding that Black Leather is the Only route to true Vinny Coolness...  So seriously, if you want the polished Go for IT! If you think it's COOL go for it! If YOU really Love em'. If you are a little  ho-hum about your decision THEN listen to what others have to say and make a decision...But For my part, With the really calm casual cream leather under white, I'd say your only choice would be brushed ally with the polished lip, Silver painted, or Maybe Gunmetal wheels. But I'd Stay away from the Polished look FWIW.

hm.... yea I think brushed alumnium won't go wrong... at least for sure I know there are no risk of screwing up the whole wheel...lol
thanks for the advice...I really gotta think about it... so should I go for 5 spokes or the 7 spokes? |

Something with a little brown or grey tint could look really cool.
