Bottom ones, no doubt. Top ones look like they would belong on a VW GTI. :)

Bottom ones in chrome would be bad arse!

I'm not a fan of faux bolts/rivets or whatever...

So 100% bottom wheel!

I had the top ones on my t-bird and loved em. They were light as hell too. They got stolen from the side of my house while I was storing them after it crashed :\.

Cool, thanks all! I like the bottom ones too, but the top ones are less expensive, so that was ruining my judgement! I will post the after pics, once I finally decide, and get em put on! Chris

Top one look to 'plastic' for my tastes...

Ok all, Thanks for the feedback, some good help in getting me to think about what I really want. After much thought, and some heeing and hawing, here is what I decided to get--Nice Chrome wheels, styled in between both of the ones that I liked, and with them being chrome, it should look awesome! I didnt want to over do it, as I dont want a pimpmobile, but I felt that my Mark deserved Chrome! Anyway, take a look, and I will post the wheels on the car, once they come! By the way, great deal, total price $640!! Chris

I think those should look really good! What size?

Just remember, caring for aftermarket wheels is much different than factory wheels. Usually unless you spend $1500 or more, the chrome won't be of the same quality. Clean them frequently, and just use warm, soapy water. Don't use any chemical cleaners (such as the spray on wheel cleaners). Autozone usually carries some nice wheel cleaning brushes

If you already knew that... my apologies

No worries! I tend to wash my MK8 about 2 times a week; way too much road grime, and salt in the midwest! I am sure they wont last as long as good chrome ones, but I am hoping for a few years at least!

Oh, buy the way, I stuck w/ 16s...Thought about 17s, but I like to 16inch look. Not too much for the new 35 inch wheels :---)
