Default Help With Mirrors

Thought I posted this last night but guess not. I'm having some 14" BR Custom Sweeping Beaters Bars being built for my Train & should be ready in the next couple of weeks. Now I'm shopping for some black mirrors to go a long with them. These are the two that have caught my eye. Which do you guys think would look best but also be a able to see from them?

I like those jokers, but settled for the ness mini ovals for mine. They were cheaper, and I felt they fit my bar style a bit better. They have convex glass, so the view is pretty decent. Anyway, here's a couple pics:

I like some of the Wicked Image mirrors but I just don't think they are worth what they are asking for them. I think I may go with these with my BRs. I've heard they are great mirrors and you can really see better with them. I am still looking at other options too. Nothing has really just hit me yet and I said that's the one.

My buddy has the Ness Mini Ovals but couldn't really see behind me with them. I've had my eyes on the Joker Machine ones for some time. Might just bite the bullet & try them out.

With a Lifetime Warranty how could they not be worth it. And 100% start to finish American Made. 99% Of the mirrors in this industry are casted parts from China, knockoffs of ours and the few other american mirror manufacturers. Not only are casted mirrors crap, but by the time you've bought two or three casted mirrors that break or the finish chips, bubbles, or fades you could have been riding quality American Parts the whole time. Please put some in your hands and tell me they're not worth it. I don't care who you buy from, just insure they are Made 100% American and bring this great American Industry back to America. I don't want to come off as being brash or defensive, I just want to inform people of what they are buying when they find a set of mirrors for $40 - $100 for a set.
