2SS ordered, do I upgrade the wheels?

I have looked everywhere for pictures of the 21" brushed aluminum wheels from GM installed on a car to see what they look like, but I have only ever found pictures of just the wheels, or pictures of the painted black 21". First I wonder if anyone knows where I can see some pictures, and second, If you could only have GM 20" brushed aluminum, or the 21", which do you go for.(if you have technical knowledge comparing the pro's and con's of each, it would be appreciated, but look plays a large factor in this.)

I upgraded to the polished 20's. Its just my opinion but the 21's are too big and look too "busy" for my tastes. Not to mention a 21" tire is an oddball size and will cost a fortune to replace down the road, plus the fact that that there is the initial 4K upgrade. For $480 I upgraded from painted 20"s to polished and love the way that they look. Just my opinion though. Good luck.

Look on ebay. There are a couple cars for sale on there with the 21's. Some colors look better with them than others so I'm undecided whether I'd get them or not.

Thanks for the information, I already ordered the polished wheels, so I am glad those look good, I will not be ordering the 21" wheels. I finally heard from my local shop yesterday and they agree with the assesmant to stick with the 20"s do to the oddball size of the tire and the lack of "bang for the buck" since the 20's look good. I will be getting wider tires when the first set wears out, probably 285's or 295's.
