POLL: Which wheels look best? I'm having trouble deciding what wheels to get to replace the TTII's I have now. It's come down to two different styles, both from the same company. I can either go with a brushed aluminum/silver finish (which costs extra since I have to have the wheels refinished to do this) or a gunmetal finish.
XXR 006:
XXR 962 (silver):
XXR 962 (gunmetal):
I like the 5-spoke design of the 962's. However, I like the racier look of the 006's. Another factor is that I'm planning on some carbon fiber exterior pieces (splitter, etc.) which would probably look better with gunmetal. Thoughts?

1. The RPM wheels are more expensive, around $150/wheel on average. The XXR's are in the $115/wheel range.
2. The XXR's are lighter. They only weigh about 21 lbs./wheel, compared to 27 lbs./wheel for the RPM's. Granted, this is comparing a 17x9 to an 18x9, but RPM doesn't make the 505's smaller than 18".
