Which one would you go with

I want to get some wheels and want to get some opinions. Which color would go better with my car. They are the same wheels but different color and also one have a step lip which I lean towards.

Here's a pix of my car



Titanium Asphalt with step lip


Brilliant polish with reverse lip

I'm not into the black wheel trend...which is sorta playing out but will never totally die. I had a red car with black wheels 15 years ago. It looked cool but I got tired of it. I think when you spend lots of money on wheels they should stand out, not disappear. Black wheels make the wheel well look empty, like an empty space. Both the choices here look nice but the high polished wheel will stand out and make people take notice. Isn't that why we spend so much money on this stuff?

All depends on what kind of look you are going for. They are both good choices but the second one is going to be more "blingy". If that's the look you are going for then - that's your choice.

Great pic of the car BTW!

I think that either wheel is an excellent choice. You have narrowed it down to 2 sharp looking wheels. Personally, I am not a fan of chrome.

Chrome is quite attractive. It's just not my cup of tea.
