polished, chrome is for rice.
That has got to be the most absurd thing i have heard yet on these forums.

Go with the Chrome Wheels. Unless of course you like spending hours keeping your wheels looking good. Polished wheels, unless they have been coated are a serious PITA to keep looking good and take lots of elbow grease and polishing weekly.

Exactly. Aside from the look which is not all that much different, chrome is much easier to take care of (ask any biker).

I like polished, just my 2c.

What's the weight difference?

And - can you get chrome rims repaired if you scratch them?

You can with polished.

Just a thought.

Get what you like best!

Where did you find those and the price if you dont mind? They are what I have been looking for - remind me of the Mach 1/Magnum 500 - real old school. I think they would look great in either - you can't go wrong.

WOW, lots of opinions thanks!! I'm leaning towards chrome, I have the factory polished 18s and they never seem to look clean. They come in 18X9 and I found them at discount tire, $179 for polished and $212 for chrome.

+1 Either wheel will look great on your car.

Polished, I've never been a fan of chrome. In the end, it's your car though, go with what YOU like. Who cares what anyone else thinks anyway.

Chrome looks better, but I always thought they were abite to keep from rusting.
