HYPERSILVER vs CHROME, & RPM 505/HP evo's vs Torque Thrust I am in the market for new wheels! Very key here is full of great informAtion do I thought I would ask.. What is the difference between a hyper silver finish and a chrome finish when it comes to price, quality, weight, difficulty to keep clean, and shine? And if I went with RPM 505's I would get 19x9.5" out back and 18x9" up front and for torque I would try to get a WIDE 18x10-11" put back and 18x8 up front! I like the chrome finish most on the Torque Thrust wheels so I'm just looking for information and some opinions.... maybe some pictures!?!?

If you get the RPMs I'd do 19x9.5 all around - don't stagger. I like the hyper silver with the polished lip on the RPMs but that style wheel is a pain to clean no matter what the finish. There are pics of the 505 on fbodies, just google it or chaman will show you his.

Your better off just searching for pictures and reading stuff already posted. The last thing you want to do here is ask for opinions...you'll get enough of those without asking for them. There are alot of pictures out there floating around, get what you like. I got black 19's.

For the questions you asked, if you have two wheels that are from the same manufacturer, in the same style, but one is polished or painted, and the other is chrome...
Price: Chrome is usually more.
Quality: same
Weight: Chrome is almost always heavier
Difficulty to keep clean: Polished is the worst, chrome probably next, and painted easiest
Shine: Chrome all the way.
All that being said, I had some poished Boyd wheels that I loved, but hated trying to keep clean. So I sold those for some hypersilver evos and then had them painted SOM & Black.
