Polished vs Chrome

Wondering what everyones opinions are on polished vs chrome wheels. Which look better? What are easier to keep clean? What is the main difference? Chrome is more expensive by about $20-$30 a wheel and I'm wondering if it's worth the extra $100.

RE: Polished vs Chrome

Chrome FTW. A buddy of mine had polished wheels on his S-10 before he got rid of it. It would take him between 1 and 2 hours to fully polish his wheels every time he cleaned his truck. I had chrome on my S-10 and it only took me about 30 mins to do all 4. Plus I agree that chrome shines better.

THey are RE: Polished vs Chrome

Well I got the FR Chrome Mach 1 Wheels on my car so I say CHROME!

They are 200X easier to cleans than a polished wheel and chrome actually shines a bit better.

RE: THey are RE: Polished vs Chrome

If you are poor .. polished is the way to go .. if you have the money .. get chrome or you'll spend hours polishing away .. and they will never come close to the luster of a chrome wheel ..
