Cosmetic opinion..

Trying to decide between brushed aluminum or polished. The OEM trim in my car is brushed aluminum, but the door handles are polished/chrome. I have both of these rings to play with and just cant decide !

Polished:

Brushed:

For those wondering .. I was indesive about which I wanted to do, so the guy that made em for me made both. Yea he helped !

The reason for the need of em is that these are replacing my former Morel Picollos which had a larger hole and are now for sale. (shamless plug

Oh ok, yeah I say brushed--more classy look, and polished can get dirty with finger prints more easily

If they are perfect, the polished look better because they match the door handles which are similar in position and size.

However I doubt the polished will hold up as well as the brushed. I have a feeling that in a few months the polished are going to look like crap.
