Default New Wheels - Need Opinions

I'm planning on replacing the stock sawtooth wheels on my 92 coupe, but can't decide whether to go with chrome / polished wheels or something black with a polished lip. The car is torch red with white interior. If it had black interior I would definitely go with black wheels, but I'm not sure how black will look with white interior. What do you guys think?

I am not sue how these black GS rims would look on your car either. I think polished may be the way to go for you.

Flip a coin, either will look great.

I think red and chrome wheels show off nicely.

Polished is nice but; over the years I hated polishing the wheels all the time. So chrome would be a lot less maintenance. I want to drive more than polish. Just my 2cents.
