The silver wheels do look white in bright sunlight.. but that's probably because I would cleaned my wheels twice a week. They have a clear coat. Now my wheels look very dull and will never look white again. I haven't cleaned them in a while so the dirt kinda soaked into the wheels. It's up to you which finish you want.. Silver or Polished. The polished wheels get more attention.. especially at night.. they almost look wet all the time and chromish. The silver wheels look nasty when they are dirty. I hated seeing my wheels when they are dirty. My polished wheel still shines and I've never cleaned it.

Here are some pics...

So that wheel is Polished?
I could have sworn it's chrome. It looks very chrome to me, that's a lot of $ you can save if u want shine of a chrome wheel... If that is how good polished rims look, I think I'll definately go for the polished... if I was to buy rims again....

I'm so confused.....

I cant make up my mind, I like the look of the polished rims, but I have a black car with Black tinted windows...When I look at my car now with silver clear coated ROH Reflexes, it looks fast....I think the polished looks showy, but the silver looks fast ? I know, it sounds stupid, I am so confused, I've been back and forth so many times...... SORRY FOR THE TROUBLE !!!!

LOL... a lot of people tell me that. The wheels are indeed polished. The chrome version has more of a mirror look to it.. plus it's more expensive. I've seen some people with polished American Racing wheels and that looks very different than my polished wheel. I say if you want polished wheels GO FOR IT!!! People always tell me to polish the rest of my silver wheels.
