Default Need help with choosing wheels

I have decided on which wheels I am going to pick but need help in choosing the finish. I am stuck between a hi polish finish and graphite finish. My GS is silver and I have no body kit on at the moment, other than my Win spoiler. I am planning on a Wald executive kit very soon. Which finish would you guys prefer. I know the graphite finish will be a sportier look, and the hi polish is a more classic look. I just saw a picture of a silver M3 with the graphite wheels and it looked great. I was leaning more toward the Hipolish but now I am not so sure. Will the graphite wheels be too sporty for the wald kit and the rest of the car? I dont like the brushed finish so I am not even considering that. Please help with your opinions.

oh man you don't like brushed..? i love that finish but i do think that graphite would look so hot with polished lips or even better with chrome lips on you silver....definately graphite gets my vote...

tough tought.... i am not a bling guy, so high polish is kinda off to me. with the executive kits, your car should look classy, so the graphite is a no-no imho. i would try to stick with silver, but if you are inclined, i guess i would have to choose bling

Thanks for the help adrian and ROM. I have made up my mind, it was a really tough decision, I took almost 2 months of going back and forth (just ask D) and finally made a decision. I am confident that my choice is the best for me and the direction of my car. This thread was a last minute thing to help me make sure I am making the right choice.
