I'd have to go with the chrome ones. If you don't have the wheels already I'd also recommend going a tad bigger as well.

Option 1 looks good, but is a bit run of the mill. I really like Option 3 overall. Definitely don't like Option 2 and that's more of a general rule, I just don't like gold coloured wheels.
Go 3. |

go the chrome fr17's tony my mate had a white el xr8 with the fr17's in chrome and they looked sensational, theyll look even better with your burgandy. doesnt matter if theyre not the 18 or 19's they still look great in the 17's.

Tony, my vote goes to option 2, its contrasting nice against the color of the car. Plus it matches gold grille and gold bulge stickers.

Following Bud's wheel choice's eh!
 : Either option 1 or 2. Defiantly don't like option 3. Which ever you choose get them in 19's. The 17's would look too small on your car I reckon.

Option 2 - gets my vote

option 1, the polished look will fit in with the chrome stripes on the doors.
option 2, will fit in with the grille & buldge stickers but these aren't that noticable form the side & may as well keep the ELGT's as they are similar colour. would be good if you had a bit more gold viewable from the side option 3, fits with the car colour & door chrome. my choice, i wouldn't go any as i don't like simmons but if i had to it would be 3,1 & 2

Option 1 IMHO is 'nice wheels'
Option 3 Im not sure, odd colour Option 2 will polarise people....but those that love it WILL love it. If you love it, do it.

Option 1 I reckon. The chrome Simmons the only way to go! A mate had them on his burgundy XF, they looked awesome!
