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

Quote: No, it's closer to chrome finish depending on how good they are polished. The good thing is that you can always polish them up yourself at any time to get that shine. Chrome is just an extra plating added to the wheel that adds extra weight and cannot be fixed if your significant other happens to curb them.
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!

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.
