Default Polished vs Chrome Wheels

After months of indecision I've finally settled on 18x9/10 Saleen replica wheels.

What are the pros & cons of each Polished and Chrome finishes. I'm leaning towards the Polished cuz they are more readily available and a lot less expensive.

Thanks

i would never ever buy polished. they look okay when theyre spotless. but when they get dirty and stuff...i dunno...they just come off looking like shiny plastic to me. on americanmuscle chrome is only like maybe $15 more/wheel. i think its worth like $60

+1 Chrome

Unless you like to use a Flitz ball every 3 days I would go chrome. OEM is better unless its namebrand, chrome and chip and peel and bubble if its of lesser quality.

polished like mentioned are more work they dull fast and they require more maintaining, saleens are easy to take care of and look nicer in my opinion go with the Chromes.
