I bought them in brushed and textured black. I'll sell the ones I don't keep.

I voted that you get a J.O.B.!!!

Btw, Black on black looks menacing while Black and brushed looks classy/elegant. Does that help any?

Prefer the brushed, but black is by no means ugly! If you do keep the black, get the exhaust tips done in black too.

I like the brushed. It really shows the complexity of the wheel, and all of the detail. Black looks pretty cool, but with such a beautiful wheel, I like to really be able to see it.

Brushed. As I have said many times on this forum and others, what's the point of black wheels when you can't even see the design? People spend tons on wheels and then paint them black so they can't be seen. If you want to paint them black then just get some cheap wheels and paint them black. They look all the same when black.

This is a no-brainer. You don't have ceramic brakes so you would be cleaning silver brushed wheels twice a day with all the brake dust.

Has to be black.
