Matte or Polished?

Post by foilman »

I'm buying 6 of these wheels, but undecided on the finish. Leaning towards polished and they would probably be better if I paint the car, but it will more likely remain matte black for a long time, plus I'd save ~$100 on the matte set.

I could mix and match but the last pic looks stupid and having just 2 polished wheels is bumberer.

as far as the photoshops go I like the black, but as far as photographing polished.

if you're concerned about pictures, polished. but I'd cruise on black. haha

black wheels don't photograph well.
