So these are the rims I'm ordering. The only thing I can't dedcide on is the finish.

I like the way it looks on the car pictured below, but I'm afraid it won't be as "Shiny" in preson. I like the brushed aluminum, titanium, stainless steel look - while at the same time being 2 toned with a polished black. I know they are polished black, but I'm not sure what the other tone is. I think it could be the bright lighting making it look shinnier than it really is.

I like chrome (they call it "Crystal Silver"), but I like 2 tone with black better. Now, I never seen a rim that is 2 toned in black with chrome - it's usually black with one of the finish mentioned in my 2nd paragraph. so...

....would 2 toned black look better with chrome or with one of the finishes mention in paragraph 2?

If it helps, my car is black.

Thanks in advance!


The first pic is chrome (Crsytal Silver) and the rest are what they call "Black Polish".

 

I like the black it looks really sharp...

 

+1 for the black polish.

I really, really, really like the look of these wheels on the SC 430, & I was very close to getting them instead of the Vossens. In my case, I didn't have the patience to wait for the shipping at the time.

Please post some pics when you get them on the car!

 

great choice on wheels...never can go wrong on a set of work's. go with the black

 

gorgeous wheels...get the first ones!

 

personally, i would go with brushed aluminum and a chrome lip. they look much more sophisticated than all chrome in my opinion. they're as shiny as you would want them to be. that's what my work wheels are. any shinier and they would be blinding in direct sunlight.

 

And I have pics of your car saved on my HD because I was thinking of getting your rims! Love the unique color of your SC too!

 

Thanks everyone for your replies.

Some folks like the all chrome, most like the 2 tone with balck.

Liquid,
I don't know why I overlooked your option! I just looked at your rims again and i love that combo of brushed aluminum and chrome! I think that option with a slight modification is my prefered choice: Chrome lip and everything else brushed aluminum except black polish in the area as shown in the 2nd photo. I just hope this is an available option. I'll find out mañana.

 

P.Kim,
Brushed with chrome lips is what I have Iforged Aero you can't go wrong with this combo IMO. What color of your car? That would help when you asked for our opinions....take care Ned

 

Thanks Ned Vo. That's my plan

BTW, I do mention the color of my car (in 1st post, black)

Black polish gets my vote for sure.

 

Anyone read Japanese?

This is EXCATLY the finish I am looking for! I think it may be a special request because it looks a bit shinier than the "Black Polish" finish at the (USA) WORK website. None of the other finishes they mention there has any black in it.

The 1st (and 2nd) photo is from the Japanese site, which is the rim finish I want. The one 3rd is from some US site. The 2 look different. The Japanese looks like polished brushed aluminum and the US one looks like it's machined.

Here is the Japanese site:
