Just the finish on them. The polished are a bare metal and the chrome is a plating. Polished, in my opinion will look better when properly cleaned. Chrome also looks good and is easier to maintain. Just don't get the Motorsports with the rivets, get the plain wheels.

I went with chrome wheels from AFS. Excellent Wheels. Chrome is great on them and they are easy to maintain.

I went with the polished aluminum, and I love them. Im not the biggest chrome guy, and think that the no so shinny look looks better. But yes they are a bitch to keep clean, HERE IS A PIC FOR YOUR OWN VEIWING.

Also, why are the polished so hard to maintain? My old man has the new Dodge Ram with the stock polished 20in rims, and their pretty easy to clean.

They dull after rain,road grime etc gets on them.They lose there shine.You will just have to polish them once and while.
