I've always liked polished better because there's no worrying about the finish chipping off and rusting. Don't get me wrong the chrome looks awesome but I just prefer polished.

Polish looks better without a doubt but chrome is so much easier to care for.

polished. in my opinion the polished looks much sportier, chrome looks flashier..and i just have a thing against chrome rims in general. (for any car that i would own at least)

but it is your call...what look you're goin for.

Save your fingers from the polishing every two or three weeks and get a nice shine that is easy to keep with soap and water. Chrome 100%

Chrome all the way!!! Polished wheels are a PITA to keep clean, with chrome all you do is polish them every few months and wipe them down with a wet microfiber in between and there spotless.

It's interesting he should put it this way.

Chrome weighs more thus changing your unsprung mass at each corner. Although it'll only be a couple of pounds, it's best to save what ever weight you can there.

Besides, who's afraid of a little lovin' on the weekends???
