Best Looking Rim Finish
What would you guys recommend? I have the Mars Red and for some reason I feel like Chrome is so played out....I'm looking at some machine finish, some silver brushed, and some chrome.

Charcoal anodized with polished lip. As long as it's not too dark. But even that's starting to get played out.
Chrome is for guidos ... unless you're a guido and then sorry I said anything.
Please, whatever you do, if you put larger diameter wheels on lower the thing. I cringe when I see the big cheap heavy no name wheels on a car and then it's riding stock height looking like it's sitting on stilts.

White machined
What I really wanna do if I get the Arctic White is to get the wheels with silver/white spokes. I'm not sure what they're called, and I've only seen a few in the past several years, but the "face" of the wheels are brushed/machined silver (aluminum?) while the "sides" of the spokes are white (or black or red, etc.) It looks like the whole wheel may have once been white, but then the face got machined down to bare metal. I call it machined white, but dunno what the appropriate tuning name is.
Well, anyway, don't go stealing my idea - but I'd love to see a white c-class sport, pano roof, with these wheels.
