Show us the car....lol that's like asking what color shirt looks best on a black gal. Each car is different, and depending on your accent color....that will determine waht looks best.

i personally love polished aluminum! and i get endless comments about it...BUT i wouldnt recommend polished unless you either A: dont drive ur car in harsh weather or rain B: dont mind polishing them up all the time to maintain that gorgeous shine or C: SEAL THEM THE MINUTE U GET THEM!....or you could go chrome which all you gotta do to maintain is spray them with a hose. the "murdered" out look (all lack) only looks good on certain cars and to do it correctly on a FBody you gotta have at least an 18" wheel with a good center spoke design aka 5 spoke 10 spoke etc...i personally do not like anything other than polished on our black cars. it looks plain SEXY!

like he said^^^^ if your avatar is your car a Trans AM then the multi spoke euro style wheels look absolutely amazing on your car especially if the spokes are black and the dished lip is polished.

black, polished aluminum, chrome....in that exact order

black wheels w/polished lip on a black car is probaly the sickest combo you can get

mine:


these wheels came with the car. im not exactly in love with them and i dont hate them, but i do like them better than the stockers. if i had a boat load of money, i would like a set of c5z06's...i just need to stop putting $$ into my car

I had polished Y2K's on mine and it was a DD and **** that ****..never again. They did look good but wasnt worth the hassle so i hear what your saying about harsh weather and daily driving on them. I hated the black wheel trend at first but after i started seeing black wheels with polished lips i started coming around and eventually fell in love with it on black,red and white cars only though.
