Question Would you trade 05' wheels for 06' wheels?

Quick question, I need some opinions.

Would you trade your 05' 18" gunmetal SS/SC wheels for 06' 18" polished SS/SC wheels?
It's a straight up trade no money or anything. This would be for a red SS/SC.

05' Gunmetal SS/SC wheels



06' Polished SS/SC wheels

Thanks R33P3R. Well I have a guy who wants to trade but I just don't know.

Probably not 443. It's all good though.

NNNOOOOO gunmetal are ssooo much nicer man!! I saw an 07 with the polished, and i parked my car besides it, gunmetal alot nicer. Plus the polish look alot like just plain SS wheels, not hatting, but i like to be distinguished a little more from the SS/NA.

It was an option that came out in 06'.

The point is would you trade the gunmetal wheels for the polished wheels?

Hey man how have you been? Nah no black for me.

P.S. Anyone have a picture of a red SS/SC with polished wheels? Thanks

Or maybe a photochop is in order. Can someone photochop the polished wheel onto the pic of my red ss/sc? It's the first pic in the post. Thanks a million.

Very true.

Can anyone photochop the polished rim onto the car in the first pic?

Maybe I should make a new photoshop request thread.

Thanks man. It's looking like that's what i'm going to be doing.

There is something about the polished that i'm not feeling.

i got the polished ones on my black ss n/a but im painting them black as soon as winters over in mass. i say go with whatver u want im sure there is some1 on here that has polished ones if u want them. i was gonna powder coat mine black but i got in an accident and only 1 of my painted rims survived so i'm gonna wait and see if the paint holds up during the winter on that rim to see if i should just paint them instead of paying the 600$ to powder coat them
