Question about valve stems

I just got my set of McGard black spline drives. I bought the kit that includes the locks as well as the lugnuts. It also came with a set of polished valve stems. Trying to make up my mind on whether to run them or not. The wheels have a polished lip and I think they would probably look better than the black ones. Any thoughts?

In order to replace the valve stems, the tire needs to come off of the wheel. Just so you know...

go with what you got...if its there, use them. However, the only thing I'd get would be a set of shorties...they are very short valve stem that protrude maybe a .5-.75 of an inch from the wheel surface.
