wheels being refinished need some help

My wheels have made it back to HRE for refinishing, they are brushed with a polished lip. I have until Monday to decide on the finish, any opinions (car is red with a black top)

Brushed on red looks nice and classy ... nothing wrong with it, but since you have the option I suggest a change. Red will look great with either texture grey or satin black. If you go black, be sure to powdercoat the inside as well.

My pic attached is satin black center w/ polished outers

hey how much is HRE charging you to get them refinished. I've got a set 19" 847Rs that I'm thinking of just powdercoating somewhere and keep the lip, but I'd much rather get them done at HRE.

Jim,
I decided to stay with the brushed aluminum finish, although I did flip flop with the charcoal powdercoat finish.

Marcus,
$275 ea. to refinish the brushed centers , Labor $100.00ea. Includes New Fasteners, Cap, Logo, Valve, Built & Sealed.
