Which AMG wheels for '99 SL500

I just purchased a white '99 SL500. I would like to add the same AMG wheels that came with the sport version of the car. The TR website lists a 5-spoke wheel, but in 3 finishes...silver, silver with polished lip, and chrome. Which is correct for OEM look?

Thanks

PS: next I need to find the AMG bumpers and sideskirts. Any suggestions?

silver with a polished lip was the OE sport package wheel but, the finish of the straight silver looks much nicer

Chrome weakens the wheel

Chrome is not even authorized by Mercedes. Applying Chrome to a wheel weakens the wheel itself. Also, Chrome is much tougher to take care of. IMHO Polished/Machined is the best alternative.
