Silver cars with Silver/High Polish wheels (like Cong's GS above) look so TIGHT! Much better than Silver with Chrome wheels (makes the wheels stand out WAY too much and detracts from the overall look of the car....which is what wheels should do...they shouldn't steal away all the attention...)

Well I think Silver or Machine Polish/Diamond Cut ALWAYS looks right on any car. With a high polished lip. It's a clean, classy look that will COMPLIMENT your car, not overpower it.

I could go into a whole monologue about WHY I think chrome is ghetto, but I'm sure you already know...

Here's a picture of a Toyota Crown with some silver AutoCouture Supremes...now imagine that wheel with a high polished lip. There would enough shine on there to compliment the car...

Clean and classy. Shows the design of the wheel. Doesn't overpower the look of the car...perfect.

You know, that design is no longer exclusive...so many people do it, it's become the "generic" dish design (just like 5-spoke wheels)...

Another nice pick would be the AutoCouture Supremes or the Magnifiques....doesn't look at generic as the Zaubers...

For that style, I like the HRE 544R's also...I like the exposed lugs and the contoured face (instead of a flat face like the Zauber and most others of that design)...

I kinda like the AutoCouture Indicators also...the Fabulous Profound or the Lowenhart LR-5's (like Enginyr's but not chrome)...the AVS No.51c Connoisseurs are nice too...even in chrome due to simple design of the wheel...(a few wheels look ok in chrome...Mesh and simple spoke wheels)

Ive narrowed done my choices
Kranze Cerberus I or II
Work Euroline DR
Work Euroline D
Work Euroline DH
work Euroline LS
Glazen Zuaber
AC Supereme

HEHE still a long list left though

I just love the Glazen Zuabers on a White LS with a VIP BODYKIT!
