Need your help and opinion

So I got some HRE 891's on order. Im on the fence about the finish. Should I go standard brushed. or a gun metal? I like both options a lot. As of right now I'm having a hard time choosing. Should I just go with a brushed finish? See how I like that? Then maybe switch it up down the road to a gun metal w/chrome lip?

insight needed. I think the wheel size is 20x11 or 20x 10.5 Rears.. I cant remember

I'm partial to the brushed face with chrome lips. As you stated, if you don't like it, you could always get them painted gunmetal. Nice choice on wheels, BTW!

Gun metal with a brushed lip would look hot........

i was going to do a brushed lip, but some people I've talked to say the chromed lip is just easier to clean.

This is how I'm leaning. I dont want any regrets on such an expensive wheel. So I might just keep them as is. Live with it for a bit. Then make a change If I have a change of heart.

To me the Chrome lip look is dated, but to each their own.

I hear you, I think the chrome lip will be an after move. I need to get rid of these wheels. My friends are ragging on me for these stockers I currently have.
