Polished or brushed wheels on IOM

Ive settled on 3 wheels to choose from but really struggling which would look better on an IOM SS... polished or clear coatd brushed aluminum. Im not getting chrome or black... period!

IVe had several sets of polished wheels and I know every month you get to spend a few hours polishing. That isnt my issue.

Darker colored cars are easier to pick wheels for. Shiny or a satin... usually doesnt mater. Lighter colored cars makes it tough. Most work well with shine but a satin type wheel isnt always enough. I havent seen enough IOM cars here with aluminum wheels to make a good decision.

So vote... who knows I might help.

Shine:



brushed:

Why not combine both. Brushed centers with polished lip.
