Default Painted Or Polished?

Someone on here did a little photoshop for me....I think the wheel's might be to dark, I asked for Gunmetal and they kinda did black. What do ya think?

Also could someone make the spokes more of a grey than black?

Painted wheels


Polished wheels

Gunmetal would look good, those are too dark though. Polished looks good.

Why not chrome? Otherwise polished is better, even being a fan of black wheels.

Black on NBM doesn't really go very well. Gunmetal would be cool, but may get old. I say get them professionally polished (I know they are polished already but it'll bring a new life to them) and call it done.
