Which one would you choose?

Please leave positive one way or the other. If you don't like either one, just don't reply, please. I'm looking for opinions on the stock Trident vs. modified/painted. Yes, it's an amateur Photoshop job on the original wheels. I did not order the car so the machined face wheels are what the dealer ordered. I didn't care for the machined face and i can paint the wheels myself. I would paint the silver spokes carbon flash and the red stripe RMM or Edge Red.

I really like the bottom. Works well with the spec.

I like the silver-faced look. I think preferences will be very age-biased. Older guys often (but not always) prefer silver wheels and younger guys often (but not always) prefer black.

Top, even though the black trim around the scoop helps tie in the black wheels.

Not generally a big fan of black wheels, but I like the bottom better than the top.

Bottom, maybe with a red stripe but not edge red.

How about the top with a red stripe. I prefer the top, but it could use something too if you are leaning that direction.

I really like my Spectra Gray Tridents - so I vote for the top one.
