Default wtf ? tell me the difference here

I got a 98 T/A... and I got 4 tires already.. so I'm pretty set on getting Zr1's for my car..


now chrome/polished.. or silver is something I'm debating on..

I live by sarasota and here on ebay theres a place that sells Zr1's.. from a local spot..


they got the silver ones marked up.. 100$ more then the polished ones..

Polished looks good for a week or two. Chrome looks good forever(unless it pits). Polished takes TONS of work to keep clean and "shiny" chrome all you need to do is clean with a rag. TTII's are polished and look great in pictures, thats because people take pictures of their cars as soon as they are done cleaning them. Go for chrome is you got the cash and LIKE them. If not be prepared for laborious work.

there isnt much difference in price, the silver ones are $459 with $89 shipping = $548
the polished are $399 with $120 shipping = $519. so is like a $30 difference when you think about it. same brand and seller though, so it is kinda weird.

have you checked out the black chrome ones? i'm not talking about the black ones with the chrome lip, actually i can find them right now but they look pretty cool and not many people have them...

OE wheels likes to bounce their prices around. Keep checking their auctions and look in their store for buy it now prices. I've seen some wheels marked up $100 more than the others for no reason. I think they just try to catch people off guard and make some more money. Their prices seem to go up and down about every other month too.
