I like chrome the best. Just seems right for a wheel.

chrome IMO looks fake if thats the word for it. i had chrome stock 97 rims on my car and they looked ok but too flashy for me. now have osme painted ZR1 rims and am MUCH MUCH happier looking at them on my car. chrome shines like a star (if you clean em) but painted or others really show off the true characterists of the wheel that chrome tends to distort.

I like the look of polished. The chrome is my second, but it stands out a little to much. I think polished is just the right look for me.

But, I went with ROHs Black Ice finish, aka Chrome Shadow...Perfect for me!

I think it all depends on th ecolour of the car. With deep and candy colours...polish or chrome or whatever. But with colours like bright red polished makes the colour look plasticy

Cool

I just went from polished mags to chrome Corvette wheels, and my car looks a lot better, and i get many compliments already. I really like them on my black car. Fingers
