Wheel choice!

Wheel choice!
I have a 1999 Mustang GT inchrome yellow. One of the wheels has some damage and the tires are becoming rather bald, so my mom agreed to buy me new wheels and tires for my graduation present (YES!). Anyway. I have pretty much decided on 17"Cobra-R wheels (y2k), but I can't decide if I want satin or polished. So CHOOSE!
And if you have any other suggestions, feel free to speak up. Thanks!

Polished for the undisputed win. Satin is stock Windstar van crap bleh[:'(]. Chrome may be shinny, but it also looks "overly" shinny if you know what I mean, somewhat fake looking. Chrome is for old school bumpers and land barges. Nothing gleams and shines more brilliant then polished. Looks natural, easy to clean. If you get a chip in the rim or a small nick taken out of it it will still gleam underneath!

RE: Wheel choice!
ok i know not what you asked...but why go for 17" Cobra R wheels (2000)?...that will look kinda funky being that the real wheels were 18"...i like the satin look on the Chrome Yellow though so i would go with the 95 Cobra R polished with the rivets...to kinda give you an idea of how the satin Cobra Rs looks on yellow search Jthorn9's car...here i did it for you...i know it is an early SN95 not a New Edge...but it will give you an idea: Photo Gallery
i like these gunmetal ones with the rivets for your car...they are different: ebay
whatever you get...make sure you get the pony center caps like the ones in the ebay auction...they look the best and make the rims look more OEM
if you don't like those gunmetal ones i would do the plain satin silver without the rivets...17x9...that same seller has those ones in another auction

RE: Wheel choice!
Thanks for the suggestions. The original wheels are also 17". I thought too that chrome would be overdoing it against the yellow. And satin wouldn't be much of a visual upgrade (although I LOVE the cobra style wheels). Polished is likely going to be the answer. I do like gunmetal, though. But I'm against black wheels against yellow (just not my thing. Maybe if it was a different color)...
Bullets are nice, but I can't seem to find a 9" painted version. Maybe I'm just retarded. And I think the car needs more shine, anyway!
