My car with polished Fuchs
Ok, I'm testing some new software, but figured I'd test it while asking for opinions. Which do you guys prefer..... polished padels, or black centers? I bought a new set of rims (thanks v9ff) but haven't made up my mind as to which look I prefer.
  What do you guys prefer?

I usually like black, but the polished paddles look great with the bright trim.

Your car in the top pic looks PERFECT!
I'd never change a thing on it (other than replace the missing rear hubcap!). |

I'd normally go the polished, but on your car the black looks best! Well, IMO anyway

Black....
While I don't like polished rims, they actually do look quite good on your car. And yes, it does look kinda like a mini-BB2

Yes, yes, yes.... I was missing the center cap after that drive. It's a sore subject with me
 Hmm, seems to be spit. Just like me. Thanks for the compliments.

I'm a polished fan 99.9% of the time but the pic of your car with the black centers is just awesome! For once, I vote black.

Put my check in the black column. Looks mean and ready for business.

Black is perfect, don't change it! Plus, it'll be easier to keep looking clean.

Polished. Notice how the polish petals bring out all the beautiful details that are only in a fuch wheel? The embossed petal looks like it was designed to be highlighted by polishing. It was meant to be seen and appreciated like a fine sculpture. An enhancement, if you will. The blacks look.......black.
