machined is to close to chrome and makes me angry, but to each his own

See I'm a little opposite. To me theirs a big difference. I hate chrome but love machined. Especially paired with black. Only on some rims though. The OPs does look more chrome though so I'm with you there.

Thanks guys. Agreed with the chrome thoughts, figured they'd be a little darker when I ordered the machined, turned out a little chromed. Think the black would look better when the flats get on too.

Way too many jeeps are running black these days.... I do both only because I switch over to steel rims in the winter and they are black..... but for the other seven months I roll on the Mickey Thompson polished and like the look!!! But it's your Jeep do what you like

I'm glad you posted that. I like the Micky Thompson Classic locks. It looks good your color match rings to your other accessories trim.
