Which 17s Do you like better? Both are $1100 per set. Wheels only.

Do you like the ones on the red car or the silver car better?
Imagine the Silver cars with Chrome, not silver wheels as shown.

Easy decision. Buy the ones on the silver car. The ones on the red car are way too busy and ornate for the simple lines of the car. The silver car's wheels are very nice.

They look fantastic!!!!!
But there's really no sense if the 0-60 time jumps up to 20 seconds and mpg drops into the 30's. I hate to ask, but how heavey are these wheels?

Thanks, and still waiting for the right set of wheels the wouldn's impact the performance of my Smartie and still maintain mpg's closer to the factory 41 mpg.

Register one vote for the polished wheels. I don't think they are any busier than the other.

Did a quick Photoshop of chrome wheels from the red to the silver, not very good one, and also can't figure out how to enlarge the pic's like above.

I like no chrome

The weight would be the deal breaker on either these wheels for me. The silver wheels match the silver car better though.
