Keep the painted ones on the car and I will take those tacky, bling bling polished ones off your hands for $100.00 a wheel. Sounds fair? I will paypal right away.

hi,
I have to say I prefer the painted look - polished they look just a little too bling for my (European) taste.
that exactly what i feel.

I guess polished wheels on a white car would be ok

Either will do the car justice, rather the car will do either wheel justice! FWIW, I'd go with the polished. It seems the vast majority of p-car whhels seem to be of the painted variety. Since your car is a unique color, why not go with the equally unique wheel?

Anthony,
your car has so much bling a little will only make it better.
Go with the polished. I have them on my white car and it looks good.
After all this is the 21st century!

I'm debating between charcoal/graphite and body colored. Such a hard decision.

Car isn't stock nor will it ever be so I like it different.

Topic at hand...both. Just swap em out from time to time and change the look of the car.

If I had only one, painted.

Keep the existing wheels. Polished look better on light colours that need a lift.

I think you should keep the polished ones. They would really look good on your other car. So just put those painted ones on the COBALT on i will take it off your hands Think about it (kill 2 birds.......)

I think they can both look great, polished in sunny climates (like in John McM's pic - which looks stunning btw) and painted when in less sunny weather. But either way they both look terrific - what a great choice, keep them both!
