Default Chrome or silver on the champagne?!

Hey guys right now I am torn between wheel colors for my champagne GS3. Should I do chrome or silver in the Status RR6 wheel.

Thanks,
Elliott

Default Chrome......

Chrome does it for me, it would bring the champagne color out even more than the silver.....they go hand and hand in my opinion.

chrome over silver anyday, unless you mean brushed silver than I actually think brush would look nicer in that color but chrome looks great aswell juts look at teelex's car.

I went with the brushed look on my GS and wish I hadn't now. They're nice and I like the look but you got to be very careful when cleaning them. I had one small piece of grit left when I went to wipe them dry and it scratched the surface easily. Chrome is very tough and resistant to things like this. The disadvantage to chrome is the weight, usually very heavy. I'm voting chrome simply for ease of cleaning.

I mean that if the choice was brushed silver vs. chrome I think i would choose brushed silver but not that chrome would look bad. I think chrome looks great on that color aswell by looking at teelex's car or even D2's old gs with that hi polish.

Here's a REALLY old pic from the day I mounted the iFORGED Techniks. Everyone has seen pics with the TRIALS so I figured I'd post these to help
