Rims are currently in gunmetal but I'm debating on whether or not I should have them polished. Which color do you think looks best on berlina? Car currently has a hardtop so I photoshopped that in the pic as well so don't mind the difference in softop and hardtop.

not normally a fan of polished wheels but actually I want to say I think the polished option looks a little better

Have them redone in the bright metal buff color that work does. I think they can be powder coated in that color. Its kinda a black chrome. But out of the 2 colors above I actually like the polished version better.

that's exactly how I first felt about polished or chromed wheels. I wanted to stay away from the dub bling bling look, but I guess it depends on wheel style and I was kind of feeling the polished wheels on a black car.

I was told that the work metal buff is a special process and that the closest way to get the rims to look like that would to either have them polished or chrome plated. Never thought of powdercoating them but I figured having them polished would be the best route to go as it doesn't add weight to the rims and and have the risk of chipping the surface.

black on black looks nice but I wanted to go for something that would give it more of a pop on berlina black. For reference, wheels would be polished by Alex at wheelflip and would look something similar to this:

I think what the powder coater can do is polish them and the layer a lightly tinted clearcoat over them. I think they also have a black chrome looking powder coat but I am not sure. I think the polished shows off the wheel more that the gunmetal but both look nice.

Not a fan of polished/chrome wheels.

I'd see if you can do them in a high gloss silver like Volk's formula silver.

personally love the polished look on black.
