If you hate dirty rims, you better get black. I have chrome 20's on my truck and they always look dirty compared to the black ones on my vette. Plus the chrome requires so much more maintenance.

I like the looks of those machined face wheels a lot. They would get my vote.

Some cars look really cool with black rims... some of the rare colors (ex: green) would do better with machined. Assuming your SN reflects your car's color (red) you could easily go either way. It would depend greatly on if you went black or chrome with other accents.
