Wheels....help me decide.

I've found a set of Comp Greys to replace my silvers.
Now, I can't decide whether or not they strike my fancy.
What do you guys think? Stay factory Silver thin spokes or go comp grey?
I don't like chrome or polished stuff so don't even go there.
Which ya like from below?

I like the grey. It's kind of like a black on black for blue. Go for it if you like it

I'll go against the trend here - I like the look of the factory silver painted wheels. They have a nice metallic look to them.

I know you don't give this as an option but when I bought my car new polished aluminum wheels was a must have option. I would not even consider another car if it did not have them. Cost me $1200 extra but they still look good after 7 years. If that's not possible I'd stay with the C5 silver. Plus they are probably lighter than the C6 wheels.
