Default Wheel options for ws6 17's (powdercoat or polished)?

Hey guys,

I have a 96 ws6 wiht the stock 17" powdercoated 5 spokers as shown ...



Well, Im broke right now due to the buildup of the motor ... and I want my rims to look better. My pops has connections with a local sandblasting/glassbeading/powdercoating/polishing company. He can get all my rims done for almost free.

So my options are several different powdercoat colors, or polishing. or i can do a powdercoat with a polished lip type of thing.

IDEAS PRESENTED TO ME ALREADY:

Hyper Silver powdercoat (looks like chrome)



Polished



Gun Metal with polished lip





those are my ideas for now ... more ideas welcome please!!!!!

How much time do you want to spend cleaning rims?? Polished looks good but is a PIA to keep up. I like that powdercoat in the first pic or polish & then clearcoat over the top.

Honestly I really like how those look, I don't see too many SILVER WS6 rims. If I had to do anything I'd polish, but like jmm stated above, it's a pain in the *** to upkeep if you're not on top of it all the time.
