Hyperpolished or Brushed Lip?? -HELP-

The order goes out to DPE on Monday but im not sure which lip to get.... For now I order hyper polished lip which you can see in the pic (M5 POWERS's car and silver M3) and the other is a pic of DPE wheels on M3THIS's car with Brushed lip. Keep in mind my wheels are the same as M5_POWER minus the rivets... Help me decide please....

polished, easier to maintain and looks better. the brushed lip seems like just a trend.

I was never much of a fan of polished wheels, but those look really good with a polished lip!

He is right, I meant to say that chrome is easier to maintain.

Chrome is way easier to maintain than polish. You dont have to do anything but wash your wheels and wipe them off same with the brushed, because the brushed its actually a liquid powdercoated finish.

The polish is a pain in the ***, get ready to get your mothers powerball and polish ready after ever time you wash your car. And if you live in a city like chicago, your going to notice even if you maintain your wheels regularly the polished barrels will begin to pit and oxidize with just normal driving.
