Default TT2 WHEELS: polished or painted?

hey guys just got me some polished TT2 wheels(17x9.5front 17x11 rear) for my white 2002 trans am WS6. Maybe you guys can help me choose what to do. They look good polished on the car, but i was wonderin how they may look with the spokes painted gun metal or even black. I would leave the center cap and the lip and lugnuts polished. Im leaning towards painted gun metal.
heres a pic of my car before the tt2's

with the CETA in black and the black accents if your going to have them painted or powder coated i'd say go black but they will look sick polished as well.

why do people buy the polished version instead of chrome?? Polished wheels have got to be a bitch.

Is it because they're cheaper?

Just a FYI- the TT2 gray wheels don't look like those above. I ordered them thinking that they were the same that came on the Blackbirds...but the Blackbird wheels are powdercoated differently. i like mine still- but the custom P/C'ed wheels look better with more shine.

My car-
