Poll- What do you like better- Wheel Refinishing

I just picked up a set of 19 Hres 547R and they were pretty banged up. I need to refinish them and was thinking to do something different so are my options

My car is an 08 Flint Gray E63

1.Painted Silver Face, Polished Lip

2.Color Matched Face with Polish lip

3.Color Matched Face, Matte Black lip

4.Matte Black face, matte black lip

I am up in the air on which way to go,

Let me know what you guys like

black

Should I do all matte black, I really dont care for black centers anymore, my last two cars had black centers with polished lips.

I was thinking color matched centers and matte black lips

I would go for a brushed face with a polished or chrome lip for the clean look.

1989 Toyota Tercel EZ - dyno'd @ 70whp/77wtq

Flint is a little light color... I'd go w/ gunmetal finish & polished lips like SL65 wheels. I saw one somewhere and it looked really good. Unfortunately, for mine, gunmetal & designo espresso don't look right... so I went w/ brushed aluminum.
