Last decision before buying...

Ok, I have everything nailed down except for my wheel choice, Do I want the polished wheels or the midnight silver finish? Anyone have any experiences that may sway my decision? Here are the exact two cars I'm looking at. Thanks!

I almost went with the Polished, but last second I changed to the Midnight silver. Absolutely love them, if your getting IOM it really sets if off imo. Glad I got them.

True, its kinda crappy how your paying for the RS package, which includes the midnight silver already, and then you pay even more for polished... I like them both though

Midnight silver, they really are a nice. They are not as dark as people think they are. I think they just look a little different and the finish is something you don't see on every car out there, unlike polished chrome.

my dealer swayed me into getting the midnight silver (odd, because the polished would add to the price) by arguing that there would be dirt and brake dust on them often anyway, and it would blend in more with the midnight silver (as opposed to showing up more blatantly on the polished

I have the polished 20s and love them. They really don't show the dirt much, but then when I wash the car and clean the wheels they REALLY shine... the other benefit is if your scratch the wheel, you can usually polish out the scratch vs. touching them up... Either MS or polished are nice looking, but I'd go for polished.

The other piece to this puzzle is that the polished wheel car has no sunroof and the midnight silver does have a sunroof....

Went through the same dilemma as you. Decided on polished.
BTW good choice on the colour and stripe package!
