Need Help!!! Should I go All Black, All Silver, Or Black w/Silver Lip??? (PICS)

I can't decide which color combo looks the best for my car. I'm leaning more toward the black w/silver lip. What do you guys think?

Option 1 = Polished Aluminum

Option 2 = All Black

Option 3 = Black w/Silver Lip

I am usually not a fan of Black rims with a Polished lip, however in this case me likey!

Also on such nice wheels like that I fell like the black covers up all the beauty of an awesome polished rim.

So in this case I will go against my usual judgement and vote for black with polished lip.

I vote option 1. Those are absolutely beautiful wheels just the way they are.

Option 3 distant second place.

Option 2, not for me, butt ugly IMO

I'm voting for option 1: Polished Aluminum. This looked real clean with the silver, and showed all the detail (which got lost in the black).

I normally would say polished wheels , but with the black insert on your hood, I like the black wheels with the polished lip. definitely not the solid black wheels. By the way , I love the hood. I just bought the same hood for mine and painting it today. Doing mine with the Viper Red insert.
