Default 3) Silver paint and clearcoat. I'm a silver painted wheel fan, basically. However, 4) Avus might be
....very cool too. Not at all a fan of this "black wheels" ridiculousness.

Default would depend on the color of the car ...
and don't forget brushed aluminum with clearcoat as an option :-)

Default Paint and clear coat. Take a look at my
winter wheels on the left in this pic, Ronal R38s. Distinct difference between outer rim and spokes. The outer rim, however, is not highly polished -- more of a matte metal finish. I love the contrast. While I love my RS4 type on the right....I do like these maybe even a little better.....hmmm, 18" for summer???

No good answer is possible without knowing what kind of wheels you're talking about.

Default lol, well I know that, but it'd spoil the surprise!...
(was hoping for a general feeling if all polished were too bling bling!)

Default That's the way I was leaning...
kinda like that brushed aluminum idea though.

(I have black wheels for the winter. I liked the change, but I'm ready to leave the dark side for the spring and summer!!!!!!!)
