Default 17/18 staggered setup: C6 or TT2

I will be getting 17x9.5 front wheels and 18" rears. I am deciding between the C6 replicas (AFS off ebay) and the TT2s. Both will cost about the same so not an issue. The reason I was leaning toward the C6's is that I can get them in chrome, whereas the TT2's are only available in polished. Isn't keeping the polished clean much more of a pita? And the 18" TT2s I can only find 10" wide, whereas the C6's come in 18x10.5". What do you think?

If I get a good polish on the TT2s, how long can I expect them to shine? It seems like the chrome might be worth it to minimize effort, but the TT2s might look a little better...

Are the polished TT2's harder to keep "shiny" than chrome wheels?

I've never had just polished wheels..

Some what i polish mine every other week and if they get wet wipe them off while wet or they water spot bad.

I also wipe mine with detailer too, works good

Where can we buy the 18" TT2's with an F-body off set?

I think I'd rather have 18's on the back with 285's than 17's and 315's..

I have polished wheels and they are easy to keep clean and shine like a ****. I didn't go chrome because I got a good deal on these and afraid that chrome would peel in time.
