Looking at the Fiske Mach V Full polished wheel. Does anyone know if the full polished is comparable visually with chrome. I like and want the bling bling look, I think it goes well with the Lt pewter IMO. I thought my mind was made up but then I saw a pic of some f-10's that looked kind of dull. Might of been a different finish. At $3600.00 I'm just trying to be sure.
Thanks for any help you might bring my way...

I some cases, I like the polished look better. In other cases, chrome looks better. It's all very subjective...

I used to have the chrome SLP wheels on my SS and then i bought the FM/5's from Fikse. I like the Fikse polished wheels better myself, even though they take more time to clean and shine up they still look great. The chrome is nice but i havent even thought of those since i sold them last fall. The Fikse wheels are a little more involved with the cleaning and use of certain products, but to me its well worth it. If you do decide to buy the Fikse wheels remember they are real strict on what type of cleaner you use and the way the tires are mounted. If you go outside of there rules of gauruntee its all over. Ask the sales rep to send you info on cleaning them.
