What finish on HRE's?

Ok what finish you think is good for HRE 547R's on a black C class sedan?

Here are a few pics I took today of a Lambo with HRE 547R's with the black center.

This is what brushed looks like, but it's on a different set of wheels:

Yes I did! Man... the Lambo and Ferrari were so f*ing loud they make Harley Davidsons sound like whispers. Not kidding. I followed the Ferrari around the block. I swear that thing could be heard 3 blocks away.

The guy who works there told me they changed the exhaust system. Don't know exactly what they did, but I swear, those mufflers can blow eardrums!

All right ogg:

On black the full polish would look sharp but upkeep is much greater.

I'm partial to the brushed myself, I just like the look and pictures absolutely do not do justice to brushed HRE wheels. Is it really worth an extra $1000 bucks though. That is the tough question.

The silver paint doesn't cost anything and, WTF, they are HRE wheels so they will look good.

You make the call, I'm voting brushed, 'cause it is your cash.

I agree, I also like the black. Will look sweet on your ride oggman...

Btw, I saw the Meridian booth at the LA Auto Show and spoke to the owners. Apparently it's family owned because I met the son (who was at the euro show) and the parents. Very nice people I might add...
