Default Help el gato choose his wheels

Per el gato's request, I created this poll showing his current wheels (the silver ones) and a photoshopped version of his current wheels (black w/ a chrome lip). Help him out and make a selection

I like the silver, but the black looks more racey and is something different.

I like the silver personally......really stands out better with the black paint! Your eyes are attracted to the wheels right off the bat!.. Keep the silver.

I would go black/chrome lip if the wheel was a different style. Otherwise, I'd say keep them silver.

Is it just me or do the rims looks smaller when painted? I'd say leave it silver. Or sell them and get a set of iForged rims

everyone has silver or chrome wheels.

be different, the black with chrome lip look much more menacing and mysterious. They compliment the dark color of your car, too.
besides, it will help hide the brake dust.

The silver finish adds more contrast to the car.
The black has a subtle look and doesn't attract much attention.

Either works on the car yet if I were to select one, I'd keep it silver.

Dare to be different...might consider a diff rim if you're goin with the black, personally I think that could be a tight look for your car, but Im not sure if painting your current rim is the way to go.

Silver looks classier but either look is badass. And people are right when they say black looks racier; since the ES isn't really a performance car, I would go with silver.

I voted silver.. although black would look sick, I think later on down the line, silver will have a classic touch, ya know?

the black adds more stealth if that's what you want.. silver has more show and tell. i like the silver more.
