Default Black or Polishes Wheels?

Trying to decide on wheels and interested in some opinions. First, I have a 4dr Silver Sahara and trying to figure out which wheels will look best....

or

not sure if I posted the above pics (links) right.

I know many folks here like the black wheels and I think they are really sharp looking. THe black would offset the silver body of my JK but on the other hand, the chrome wheels would "blend in" more.

Anyway, what do ya'll think?

I would do the black rims because I don't like all the bling. I also think they would stick out better than chrome with the silver paint.

I think a black and chrome combo looks sharp

I have some 18" chromes... they are a total pain in the azz. Get the blacks. If you get the blingies get yourself a powerball the same day.

I like black ones on your silver sahara the best. Here is a pic of mine.

To me black is getting a little played out. Of course I had been driving a black YJ with black rims for the last 5 years. I dont want chrome either. Im going with some type of satin aluminum. Or maybe the silver AEV's

Default Pink or...

Chartreuse. If neither of those are available, i'd go with mauve or Black.

black is obviously the favorite with many...what I like about the pro comps is that they incorporate both the black and chrome. The bling factor is extremely subtle but adds a nice element of shine. I think Im going to go with these!!

Getting closer to ditching the stock look....have the Teraflex 2.5 Coil lift (thanks DAVE!) sittin in the garage and working toward the wheels and tires soon!
