Well im not a stock kinda guy myself lol, but what color is your car. And it depends on how much chrome you have on the rest of the car, or if you have no chrome, go polished, just my opinion though.

the only problem with buying rims for me is i have to see what they look like in real life and most likely real life on my car or else i wont know for sure lol so i might just keep em stock for now
