  • Chrome vs polished

    I know hat chrome wheels are easier to clean than polish, but is there any other things to consider. What about weight, is thre much difference between the two. Chrome is probably heavier. Which one would be the better choice?

    I would go with chrome, but that is just my 2¢. They are much easier to keep clean, just be sure to keep them clean. And they have a really nice shine. You can get polished to shine great too, but it is a lot more work.

        The weight difference between polished and chrome is absolutely negligible.

        I bought Polished Aluminum wheels thinking they'd be easy to clean, like chrome... they're not. I'm not unsatisfied with them, just if I would've known... I probably would've gone with chrome.

          I got polished aluminum, mainly because if they do get inperfections in them you can just polish them out. chrome is easier to care for though... and its a bit more expensive.
