yeah, mine came with the chrome ones and i really like em. but they are bubbling and starting to chip in the curves, so i will either flat black em or have them re-coated

Keep the stock. Not only are they a better quality wheel, they look better.

Both look good. I like the design of the stockers better, but too bad the stock ones aren't 19"s.

I vote for the stocks. Looks more serious and agressive. The 20s make it look less sporty.

Unless you go with a custom forged wheel, I would stay with the stockers. IMO there are no "budget" wheels that look better.
