Default Not too shiny silver wheels for a silver JK?

Hi all. I'm awaiting my silver JK. I like the look of black 8 hole steelies, though its pretty common. I'm perhaps more interested in silver wheels, though most I've seen are too chromed out for my taste. Any recommendations on wheels with nice silver finishes for a silver JK? To be honest I like the AEV Argent wheels a lot as well, but $$.

Thanks, here are a few pics of setups I like:







Thanks all!

A few of the Fuel wheels are available in a silver/machined finish.

Cragar makes those steel soft-8's you like in silver. They are just hard to find in 5x5. You usually need to wait like a month or so until they send out another batch. I couldn't wait and went with black.

Mine are both black and silver I like the way it is broken up by the two different colors.

I went back and forth on machined or black and ended up going with a combo of the two. ATX Slot Black. I think they also make an all shiny version of it.

Nice wheels, guys. Does anyone have the ProComp 1079s? Or the M/T Classic IIs? Can't quite tell how polished the finish is.

I see that you're in NOVA/DC, well I have a set of 5 AEV argent pintlers with 35" Goodyear MTRs. Not a single scratch on any of them and about 6k on the tires.

I'm seriously considering selling them, I'm just not sure yet so I haven't posted anything.

You are more than welcome to stop by and we could put them up against your JK for you to get a better idea of the look. I'm in West Springfield, Orange Hunt Estates, let me know.
