Default Chrome Or Polished, Keeping Clean?

I was wondering which is easier to keep clean. I know you gotta work on either to keep em looking good but I figure the polished wheels would be a little harder to maintain. What do you think??

Polished wheels are harder to maintain. They are picky wheels, but I would rather a my polished then chrome anyday.

Its a balance of look and cost.

Personally, I like chrome but sometimes the bluish look it has isn't as cool as highly polished.

Chrome is way easier. But like most will say, polished looks pimp when you have it blinging and take care of them. I've thought alot about getting my rims chromed.

I look at my wifes Trailblazer with chrome rims and look at mine and I just cant bring myself to do it. I can clean all 4 of hers with glasscleaner in less than a half hour. Mine take a couple of hours if i want them to really bling. To me though the polished rims just look better. The up keep I'm sure will eventually get old, but untill then I'll keep polishing away.
