Need opinion on wheels, 85 K30

Getting ready to throw new tires on, and wondering what would look better.

Polish the wheels?

or

Powdercoat gloss black (with chrome center caps)

I'm thinking polished would look the best, but I HATE polishing and the upkeep. What do you guys think?

Polished is definitely a more classic look. The black would be more modern and different. I'm voting for the black.

Dismount the tires, polish the wheels , then have them powder coated with clear gloss. Best of both worlds.

Black is a fad. Your truck is not.
