Wheel Finish Thoughts/Ideas Wanted - Bonspeed Intense Wheels

Hey guys,

So i am going to order my wheels for my truck soon and i've been pondering ideas for the wheel finish. We decided to go with BonSpeed Intense Wheels 20x8.5 front and 22x10 rear. Cant decide on weather or not to run a polished finish of a brushed finish. Heres a link to my photobucket so you can see the truck, http://s738.photobucket.com/albums/xx28/muthstryker/

Heres a photoshop so you get an idea, Although the photoshop ended up funny so the wheels look like 22s and 24s lol...



Whats everyones thoughts?

Matt-

personally i would go with brushed it would really stand out with the colour of the truck and give it a real nice custom look but thats just my opinion up to u.

Not the same, but similiar colors. Should give you some ideas. I think the gunmetal finish would look better than brushed.

The gunmetal coys do look good on that truck... I swear, buying wheels is one of the hardest decisions to make, it can make or break the whole vehicle.

Any idea on that amount of drop that truck has? It sits perfect.

Brushed wheels still require some elbow grease to keep clean, and while they are very popular right now, I think it will be a 2 or 3 year trend. You cant go wrong with a nice, polished wheel.
