i think polished looks way better than chrome, i think its gonna cost a good buck to have them done, might be better off selling them for something in chrome , or maybe look into a clearcoat or someone told me zoopseal works pretty good, never tried it so i cant give ya any info on it

I like the maintenance of chrome but polished looks so much better.

i agree polishing rims sucks, i was happy when i got duals just so i didnt have exhaust tips to polish anymore, but imo chrome just doesnt look as good as polished,chrome looks kinda cheap to me, thats just my look on it,

Chrome looks better and is way easier to maintain. I owned one set of polished rims and never again.
