Default NBM TA Chrome or Polished?

Just a poll to see what everyone thinks about having either chrome or polished wheels on a NBM TA?

I have NBM and I am going to end up going with chrome Y2Ks once these tires are done. I don't think a duller finish would look good on this color (NBM)

It all depends on your initial polish job and the level of use. All of my polish work still looks like chrome one year later. I wouldn't call it "dull" by any description. ~Joshua

For a few months....... then you realize how much of a pain in the *** it is to keep them even looking decent and sell them for chrome.

If they sold TT2's in chrome... then you really would see some played out wheels

If I could make some similiar in chrome.... that would = $$$$

Chrome on NBM looks the best. However Black Chrome looks damn sexy too.

I think you'll love it at first, but eventually regret the polished...

I have always done chrome with my car, but for my sportbike, i have polished everything... wheels, frame, swingarm, etc... and honestly, i really regret it now...
i dont regret the frame and swingarm, but i put ~15,000 on a bike, and to keep the wheels looking shiny is just too much of a pita....

however, i just read that you don't drive it every day, so polished might not be so annoying.
