Default Alum. vs. Chrome and Sizing????

Most importantly, what the difference in visual appearance? Also whats the pros and cons to the both of them. I am thinking of getting the saleen replica's in 18 x 9 and 18 x 10. Another question, will these tires rub around turns or over bumps? I own a 95 GT and nothing done with the exception of the engine.

polished is a PITA.... it will never be quite as shiny.... very close but not quite... nothing can replica the chrome look.... so if u want shiny as hell no matter what kind of lighting u have... so yea get chrome

polished looks nicer IMO, chrome looks tacky most of the time. but yea you need to clean up polished wheels a lot more
