Default ZR1 Polished? Chrome? White?

We dont have SS in Mexico. So I am thinking about making SS 30Th aniversary Clon. Mine is white 1997 Z28. I sold my chrome ZR1s couse I want 17X11.

I can buy silver and paint it white, or have them chrome or polished.

What about AFS replicas? What would be bether?

Polished are 100 usd cheaper why?? What about AFS reputation?

Polished are cheaper because they are bare metal, and harder to maintain than Chrome, they require alot of polishing.

I believe there is a minor difference between the ZR1 wheel and the SS wheel, something about the shape of the spokes. Could be wrong though.

AFS has a great reputation from what I gather. I have never bought from them personally but Ive heard good things.

White ZR1s look awesome on white cars.

I bought a set of z06 replicas from AFS Wheels and had no problems. Great customer service too! I forgot to order lugnuts when I bought the wheels and told them about my predicament and they had the lugnuts at my doorstep in two days!

The ZR1 SS wheels that came from the factory look more rounder than any others I've seen. Maybe thats what you're talking about.
