I've seen silver wheels with chrome lips in my continuing search for the wheels to buy. They look the best, I'm starting to think. These are 20" Modulare M3 ($6,200 for four).

There are some wheels that are polished that are as shiny as chrome. I personally am not a big fan of chrome wheels, but chrome is easier to maintain.

I don't mind chrome lip, but the face I prefer high gloss silver, especially with Black Onyx.

That looks amazing, it must be a two piece wheel. I love how that looks. Also, the calipers and crossdrilled rotors add to the effect as usual. Go for a silver wheel.
