Machined tourmaline wheels. Love them and love my chromed ones too. But with the install of a more open design, those awful calibers are very visible. My solution was caliber covers, others have painted them, and those who were willing to spend big bucks installed new aftermarket ones.

What is really important here is what you want and what you like. I certainly have my own tastes, but that shouldn't be important to you. Both sets of wheels have their own character, you just have to decide which character you want to portray.

I loved the original pie plates, but after they needed replacing two months ago, i switched to new rims. It gave me a whole new look/feel on the car and I fell in love all over again. Go for the new rims man, its like buying a whole new car!

My vote is for the tourmalines. As far as VVTIBob said, that's just another weekend project, when you get use to seeing the new wheels and need another change, but that one won't cost you as much. Hope your dealer isn't chargin' too much for the swap.
