My only suggestion would be to stay with a mix of painted and metal for the wheel. I think this would help the rims stand out from the already darker colored paint. I think a machined finish would look better than polished. Then again, I like the wheels that are already on the car and wouldn't change them if it was me. Good luck on choosing.

I still like the wheels I have on the car now, but always second guessing myself. I recently changed the centers to a titanium color, which really changed the look...Always amazed as to what a difference wheels make on a car. I appreciate very much your suggestions along with constructive comments from all.

if I may as well....
FULL POLISHED

You have to do what you want but I am a little more traditional when it comes to wheel finishes.

Fully polished would certainly look great, but is just little too much bling for my taste. Also like all semi black, but seems like everyone is opting for the badass look. My goal was a little bit old school and touch of badass.....if that makes any sense.

Jack,

Not too light, not too dark a finish IMO.
