I think they looked better polished. But to each their own, if you like it thats all that matters. Exactly what color were you goin for? I'm guessing similar to a Gunmetal or Argent look?

with your color of a car i think they looked better chrome, but the wheels look great and would look better on a SOM or a dark blue car

Me rike! IMO it flows with the color of the car, plus maybe Im a bit bias If you didnt do the CETA mod yet, do it in that gunmetal color. It would look sweet.

only cost me $65 per wheel to have them done, sand blasting and all. I wanted something different that no one has. Gonna do the Ceta in a gunmetal, hood strips, wheels and ceta would all match.
