IMO chrome is something that belongs on older cars. Your car looks good.

Wheels now just 'blend' on your car. Nothing wrong with that. I prefer wheels to have their own point of focus. And on a car your color, I would absolutely go with a polished wheel - class and eloquence. Park both the chrome and the painted.

The painted looks good.

I'm not a fan of chrome on modern cars even though my car has them (repros, no less

). If a little extra bling was called for, I'd go polished.

Enjoy !

Get the polished aluminum wheels, not blingy, but very attractive. The painted wheels just look a little dull, but perhaps it's only the picture. Well, I guess they always look a little dull.
