Have you ever polished metal before. Wow talk about work, I vote chrome. Even though I like the polished look almost 9 times out of 10......it is just WAY too much work.

Polished=Work????? Shows what I know... or rather don't. I would have never known.

Just did a google search for polished wheel care.....

"Polished aluminium wheels are very popular, particularly with racing, off-road and hot rod enthusiasts, and we sell thousands of them each year, however, they do require more periodic maintenance than other finishes, depending upon the climate, road conditions and your vehicle car care practices in general. Polished aluminium alloy wheels require the highest degree of maintenance and a certain amount of oxidation is to be expected as the wheels naturally oxidize with age. Polished wheels can be re-polished commercially or by hand after many years of use, effectively restoring them to an almost factory original condition. "


Humm...... looking like it's going to be C6 in chrome!!!!
