Black or Brushed Center Wheels ???

Would like the forums's opinion on what looks best on a Black SL55: Black center vs. Brushed aluminum center wheel (both: polished/chrome lip)???

Car has been lowered, but some wheel gap still remains...should put 19's for everyday use/performance, but 20's just look too good to pass up.

Almost placed my order this week, but paused to get some more feedback before pulling the trigger. Thanks!

I have plenty invested already, this money is for my toy. Please refer to original question. I am not here for finance advice. I want power. You know the old saying, "In this country,first you get the money, then you get the power,THEN you get the woman." I have the money, now need POWER, i got women, maybe with more fast car i will get more women though.
