Default Need help choosing between rims.......

I have it between two wheels, both are 18's. The one is chrome, the other brushed with black inserts. What do you guys think. I'm not looking for the ghetto look, just something to make the car more appealing to the eyes.

Color of my car is the carmine red
1st wheels is the Sport Edition KV5 chrome
2nd wheels is the Sport Editon Sport Tuning Blade which is in the painted category

No doubt in my mind the first ones are the nicest. I dontcare for the other kind at all.
Honestly the painted black moda MD2's are my favorite of all of those wheels. The black looks really nice withyour dark maroon paint.

I'm confused with your answer, are you saying the chrome looks better, or the black/machined wheel?

cloud, I actually like the first version of the Dale E's on that chrome page.
But i think the chrome wheels look the best for your maroon paint and also on the car.

that maroon colors are the one color other then that comp. yellow that i would have looked at i really like the burgundy also.

but that color demads you either chrome or black . not both.
i think they look really good mono chrome or with alot of chrome accents. but not wiht both.
but that is mho/

Out of the two you had listed, I liked the Sport Edition KV5 chrome ones better, but I think out of all the wheels they had displayed there to fit your car, I think the Blackmoda MD2's are the nicest.

I kinda like the second set. I've seen a few Monte's with the first set and not overly impressed. They are nice, but seem to be too plain of a five spoke for my taste.
The second set seems to have that extra something with the painted parts.

Although I have to admit, I tried the Dale Jr set mickey mentioned, and they do look good on your car.

JMHO
