Personally, I'd go with polished. They are not very difficult to maintain if you keep up with it. Besides, polished wheels look better.

i had the same problem...i had chrome wheels and i was unsure about buying the TTII's because they were polished. it turns out that i love the TT II's and they are not hard to clean the polished wheels...go for it

I'm in the same boat as you. But I think I'm going to go with all-polished. It seems kind of silly to have the wheel chrome, but have your rim polished.

Mine are polished.



They get dirty quick though, even if you don't drive much (mostly dust, and brake dust).

The chrome TT2s still have a polished lip and I think it takes away from the look. Go with all polished

Polished is the way to go, its just a pain though because you have to keep polishing over and over and over again...

buy em polished, then get www.calchrome.com to chrome em. they will actually take the wheel apart and chrome it. several members have had this done with great results.
