Silver or white car? Hyper Black. Other than silver car? Hyper Silver (and that includes Pewters, IMHO).

im assuming there arent any high polish rims on ebay? or at least in the price range im shopping for (below $1000)

Exactly. ~17 sets of these wheels sprinkled throughout N. America and nobody can get another set unless they setup another group buy. That probably won't happen again since the people who really want them are buying them now!

it'd be cool if velocity can # each set...
ie. "1/20", "2/20"... like DTMs...

The look of your car is more aggressive, so I think Hyper Black would look awesome! If only Vogtland would hurry up and release the damn 4matic springs...

Sorry
I am switching over to the dark side!

Edit- After my Remus exhaust comes I will look like Mj's twin so having different colored wheels might be better

most polish wheels are custom made (HRE, DPE, DCR, iForged)

i think those AME's would look nice on your silver car...just make sure you get the right offsets.
