Default Help me make a decision!!!

Well I have been trying to decide what to do for wheels and tiresfor the past month (I bought the caron April26th). I have made a few final decisons. I actually had Brenspeed drop ship two oe bullitt wheelsto Weldcraft today to narrow (17x5.5). They will have M&H front drag radials on them (p185/55r17). I plan to purchase two 17X9 wheels from american muscle as soon as I decide what finish I want in the end. They will have M&H drag radials on them as well (275/50r17). So thedecision is what finish? So far my ideas have been stock silver, black w/outer bare edge, powder coated all black, powder coated aluminum, or polished. The front wheels will need re-finished no matter what. I checked with a place today that will strip the wheels for $55 each. Also checked with a powder coater today they said $60 each. My car is black, 5% tint, all blacked outlights except for head and fog, cowl hood, and will very soon have REAL FIRE FLAMES that go across the front end back into the doors. I am leaning toward powder coated aluminum (like the stock 18" bullitts from ford) for easy maintenance. My last choice would be polished because of the maintenance required to keep them looking good.What do you guys think???? Any other finish ideas?? Any pictures?? Chrome is not an option. They only place I know of that would do the kind of qualitywork I would expect didn't want to do it. They also said if I found a place expect to spend $500+ a wheel. That's too much for a stock type bullitt!
