Nice, I have the black w/chrome lip. I would say gunmetal (if thats an option with this wheel) or black. Black looks good with SGM in my opinion.

Do you have problems with wheels rubbing when turning or on bumps?

Actually Nad just confirmed that they do work with TPMS with no modifications. A lot of lip rims work with TPMS. The new law that came in effect says that by end of 07 all cars have to have TPMS so manufactuers are trying to make all rims TPMS compatible.

I think it just depends on the look you want for your car. I would either go with polished (luxury look) or gunmetal (sporty look). I'm not a fan of chrome or black wheels.

I guess you can see that i am a chrome guy. So chrome it is. I wouldn't mind getting my wheels done in black chrome though.
