JDM wheel restoration
So I recently picked up a set of Racing Hart Type-C's (with center caps) and aside from being a little rough from age they were in decent shape and restoring them wasnt a high priority for now. Until I took a trip to Nashville, TN where a pothole on I-65 decided add a "HuGE dent mod" to them. so now that one of em cant even hold a tire on the rim and the other one has a big nice dent in it I decided to repair/restore them.
I am going to take em to Wheels America in Chicago and have them done there. My question is which would look the best.
Restored to Polished lip + Silver powdercoated silver (like in pics) + polished caps?
Restored to Polished lip + Machined face (like the Type-C C2's) + polished caps?

And Yea JDM was needed in this JDM title for the sake of the JDM ness that JDM attracts JDM honda-Tech'rs to take a look at this JDM awesomeness in this JDM forum. So Basically JDM was used as a JDM Advertisement to spark more JDM viewers to see the thread and possibly vote.

Re: (mr.coupe)
If the "hole" is that bad, to where it's denting wheels, and giving mulitple cars flats. Then it seems like the state should get stuck with this bill. I would be in contact with the DOT.
