Need opinions whats going to look best on white
So I have decided on these Sc3C (split spoke) wheels in 19x9 and 19x10.5". I cant decide on whether to go full polish and cleared or something a little different. The images attached are just finishes for reference, not the style im choosing. As an example
1. Transparent smoke clear center with polished outer lip. see photoshop image - dont know if I like it or not. There was a recent post of a SOM Z06 done in these.
2. Brushed center with polished outer lip - not really feeling this one
3. HTM (machined face after powder or brushed) center on brushed center accents with polished outer lip - leaning towards this or full polish
4. Full Polish - not attached
Opinions please
***Ordered SC3C in full polished with clear - Similar to last image, same style

Rikki,
Black is one of those lovem/hatem types. I think they look good on race cars or imports thats just not the look Im going for. I want to be able to see the detail in the wheel from a "10,000' view" so to speak.
I know Polished will look great as thats what it came with and i like it. I just want it to have a "holy **** thats badass" look. Hence the reason I am thinking something a little different. HTM finish with polished lips like the 3rd and 4th pics look nice. Brillant look but not quite polished has a nice contrast.
I just cant decide.
Baalic,
I think blue would look cool but I dont think they do anodizing which leaves a powder coat only option. Blue with polished lips, that might be bad ***. Would I get tired of looking at that though?????? Hmmmm, gonna try that in photoshop. still leaning toward HTM or polished.......

I would do the HTM!! I love a full polished wheel and had it for years but i'm leaning towards something different now! A lot of pro-touring cars have the brushed center with polished lip!! I wouldn't personally do it on my car but given the options that's the best one imo cause its a bit out of the ordinary!!

alright just found some white T/A's with brushed and/or less shiney centers and I dont care for the look. So it looks like it will be polished.
Now I just need to measure out the brembro calipers to give to forgeline for offset calcualtions and a template! Getting closer!!!
Thanks for the input everyone.
