Default Found Wheels, Need opinions on diff finishes, Sweet

<center><img src="http://www.hopad.com/uploads/35/1091545095_1.jpg"></center><p>Hey fellas, I was looking for wheels and I found some wheels at my buddies shop at a sweet deal. I love um but they come in two bad *** finishes and im Confused so I need some opinions. My car is a 2002 A4 Silver. The wheels are 19 x 8.5 and come Diamond cut and Hyper silver with Chrome lip. Im leaning towards the Chrome lip Wheel but the other one will look good on Silver. I need to buy this week because he only has a few sample sets till his shipment comes in.Check out both pics that I took of them and let me know!! WHAT DO I DO!%$#!%$#@!<ul><li><a href="http://www.hopad.com/uploads/35/1091545095_2.jpg">Click Here to See other wheel!!!</a></li></ul>

Default if the diamond cut is raw aluminum (not clear coated) it will be a pain to clean.

you'll have to sit there with a jar of polish every wash or every other wash.

i'd think some silver painted centers that match your paint would be best.

fronts may have issues with caliper clearance if they all 4 have lips like that.

Default I like the tire ;)

Is that wheel a "true" 3 piece? Not sure about the wheels looks though. And that lip will probably cause BBK clearance issues. Just be sure its what you want and the offset is correct

I am not big on a "5 spoke star", but if you like them, that is all that matters
