Default Polished or chrome?

Right now polished sounds like a better idea than chrome wheels because of the chance of the chrome peeling or flaking. How hard is it to keep polished wheels as shiny as new?

Polished is pretty hard to keep clean. If I'm not mistaken, when you don't polish them, they start to turn a little white. I would spring the extra money for chrome. They are easier to take care of. O, and chrome shouldn't start to flake if the wheels are maintained. Just clean em' once a week or something. Are you ordering from AFS by chance?

Nope, unless I'm mistaken, they don't carry Saleen replicas. I was planning on going with these:

I was just saying AFS because I ordered 03 Cobra Chrome rims from them off ebay, and then I called them to find out if the wheels have been shipped and they told me they were on back order for about 1.5 months, but they had the polished.
