Personally, the wheels look a lot better polished, especially since you have the calipers painted. which look good btw

I, too, like the polished wheels on ABM. IMO, if you're considering a dark wheel, I wouldn't go any darker than magnesium gray.

I like the polished. If you are going to add some black stripes (rally or hockey sticks) then the black wheels would look good, especially with a blue pin stripe on them.

Nice calipers.

it has black ralley stripes but this pic. is from before i got them they were on back order...for some reasons the ones i took with the stripes wouldn't work on the site...i also want to tint the windows and black out the head, tail, and fog lights....do you think the black rims would look better with all that?

I think they would. Maybe take another picture of the car with the stripes, and after the tinting is done, then photo shop the black rims onto that and repost??? I think it would look bad (very tough looking), but sometimes less is more, and those polished wheels look very clean on that car. The black is going to look "bada$$" versus clean. Depends really on the look you want imo

Another question - did you want matte black or gloss black?

Just wondering because your shop looks very matte, which is a look not many people like. If you want to send me one of those striped pics, I can whip up a nice glossy black photoshop for you if that the look you wanted.
