Re: Chrome or Polished?
Polished. Chrome's a pita.
It's easier for a while, but polished will last much longer, and if it ever dulls or pits you can always just sand it with 2000 or 2500 grit, and then repolish em.
I have triple plated chrome Z06 rims on my car, and I WISH WISH WISH I had gone with the polished ones knowing what I know now. At first chrome seemed like it'd be easier, but now, I can tell lol its not.
but chrome does look better. so it evens out.Y87 Package

Chrome, though, when it starts pitting can cause leaks in the seals of the tires and really isn't fixable when it pits. Kind of a trade off.Y87 Package
