Default Chrome or Hypersilver w/ Polished Lip RPM 505's on SOM (Update pics added)

What would look better? I always loved chrome rims, but i'm thinking maybe the Hypersilver would look good on an SOM T/A. Any opinions/pictures of these rims on an SOM? I'm pretty much dead set on these rims so its just a matter of me deciding which finish to go with

I'm thinking the same thing about chrome being too blingy with a rim like that..normally i'm a huge fan of chrome but i think it might be too much for these. I've been debating between 18's and 19's also..what makes you say go with 19's?

I'm not a fan of black rims on any cars really, so thats not even an option.

If you were closer, Id sell you mine for half price

That said, 19s look best on TAs... 18s on Camaros

Thanks for all the replies, i've decided to go with the 19x8.5. I'm pretty new to putting different rims on vehicles....the website shows a 5x120.7 bolt pattern with a 38 offset....this is correct right? I dont wanna spend $1500 and end up with the wrong rims lol. Also, think i'm gonna get the Nitto NT555 tires, i did a little reading and they seem pretty good. Good choice or bad choice?

You have the right specs, but why did you choose narrow width wheels?

I dont really think i'd get an extra benefit of wider wheels...i dont do any road racing or track racing and i will rarely even drive the car when its raining. Also, i just want to get the set that you can order from the website, and unless i want them staggered (which i dont) you can only order them 19x8.5. I havent ordered anything yet

You can buy four 19 x 9.5 wheels.

You should have gone with 19x9.5....deeper lip, awesome looks. BTW Mine are hypersilver. I polished the lips when the clear started to get ugly.
