I would never do another polished rim unless I get a heck of a deal on them. Too much of a hassle. I would most likely go with the R's.

P.S. If you get them, change the center caps.

"I would never do another polished rim unless I get a heck of a deal on them. Too much of a hassle. I would most likely go with the R's." why do u say so about polished? do they lose their shine or wut? they look pretty cool.

its a pain in the ass to keep them shining.

I would say go with the chrome if all you care about is looks.

Yes, they lose their shine. I mean yeah when they are clean and polished up they look great, but it's a lot of work to keep them looking that way. Plan on polishing them at least 4-5 times each summer. You can't run them in the winter months because the salt will absolutely destroy them and then you'll put hours upon hours into wet sanding the wheels and repolishing (trust me, been there, done that ). Then to seal the polish you need to get zoops seal and coat the entire wheel after you polish it and that's not cheap. With the silver or even chrome all you do is wash and dry them and you're done. Just my $.02. I'm just giving you my experiences with them.

Yes, they will look good. There are several people on here that have them and there are a lot of pictures of different cars with these wheels on this site. Just do a search.
