Default Help with CCW's

So last year I sold my Classics...

I miss them so I'm ordering another set.

I need some help! The last set was all polished race versions.

But now I'm have trouble deciding if I should go with all polished,
OR a brushed bright clear center and full Swiss option.
Or just polished with Swiss option.

Here what it was before

I was looking at them for my T/A(the LM5's actually), and if I bought a set today I would go brushed. I am not a fan of the 'swiss' version myself.

BTW- Sweet car! Your car makes me miss mine bad...Traded it off a couple yrs ago and kept my T/A. Couldn't afford 2 hot rods.LOL

Mac I'm the one who first posted that pic lol

That's the car that gave me the idea to get the ridiculous sizes I had before and the ones I'm about to get.
That's the brushed I was referring to^^^

Needless to say neither option will look bad, but I think a little bit of brushed will give it a nice presence.

I'm a fan of both, but on the Classics, the brushed look is pretty awesome. I kind of wish my CCW 505a's had brushed centers.

By the way, what is swiss?

The BMW I posted has the full Swiss option, extra holes cut out around the wheel next to the bolts and between the lugs.
Weight saving option.

I dislike them without center caps so at least get street versions. I like both the brushed and full polish tho

Lol nice Snake!

NBM, I can't get past the center caps, they look so awkward and out of place.

Race versions for me.

I'm still 50/50 on full polished or brushed centers lol

flat black centers......lol nah I like the brushed more since it gives a little bit of contrast and will probably be easier to keep clean

desertls1, think of it this way. Brushed centers are more unique, easier to keep clean and look great. With the color of your vette, the brushed center would look ****.
