Default Polished or painted gunmetal gray TT'2's "UPDATE" with pics

I've had a set of 17x9/11 tt2's on my car for probably 6 years now and I'm kinda getting tired of the same old look, I'm thinking about painting the centers of the wheels like a gunmetal color. But my question is I'm saving my money to buy a set of CCW sp500's and once I get enough money to buy those I'm going to sell the tt2's and was wanting to know if more people would want to buy them if they were still all polished or gunmetal center with a polished lip. Please give your opinion.

Finally got a chance to finish painting the wheels since we had some warm weather and then took some quick pics with my phone. Whatcha think?

another way of looking at it, however, people like things that are original and aren't tampered with. I would probably buy the polished because then I would still have the option of painting it whatever color I wanted to.

Since they will be on your car though, it will give you an idea if you like the gunmetal on your car and maybe persuade you to paint the CCW's.

The grey looks great! Should be a little easier from a detailing standpoint too.

That's one of the main reasons for painting the centers is I was tired of polishing the centers.

They look better with the painted centers IMO.
